Growing Your Own Fruit and Vegetables

We grow our own fruit and vegetables for our meals for as much of the year as we can. Without a greenhouse we have to buy shop food in the winter months but in the spring, summer and autumn we often have enough to share with family and friends.

Read about growing your fruit and vegetables here on my growing your own food pages.

A simple list of things that can go into compost.

This is a link to a page that I  have written with a  list of things you can put into compost. It is not meant to be a a comprehensive list, but it is meant to simplify things for those who want to start composting some of the household items that can go into compost rather than waste bins.
