Growing Your Own Vegetables and Fruit
Whether you have a large sprawling garden, a small urbun garden, a courtyard, or just enough room for a window box or a couple of small pots on a window ledge – You can ‘grow your own’.
If you’ve ever thought about growing your own fruit and veg, but never got around to it, now is the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, there’s always something that can be grown or at least prepared for the months ahead.
Grow Veg and You’re a Gardener – Own Chickens and You Become a Smallholder
In addition to growing your own fruit and vegetables, keeping chickens in the garden is also a very real possibility. With nothing more than a good home, feed and shelter, you’ll never have to buy intensively produced eggs from the shop or supermarket again. Retrieving fresh eggs in the morning for breakfast, cakes and more is truly one of the most rewarding things you can do. What’s more is that chickens have great characters and you’ll have great fun sitting and watching their naturally curious and often comedic ways.
Taking care of garden wood
Garden sheds, fences, decking, pergolas, trellis and garden furniture. All of these things combine to form the functional and decorative features of the garden. Taking time to protect and maintain garden wood can mean all the difference between an attention grabbing feature or a garden eyesore. Making the difference between items that last for a couple of years to items that last for decades.
