Yes, that’s all it costs when you grow your own at home. You can save thousands of dollars by growing your own fruit and vegetables. We can show you how and when to sow your seeds, which varieties give the best yields and how to grow delicious tasting fruit and vegetables that are not genetically engineered. It is all explained in our new book Growing Your Own Heirloom Vegetables. “A trip to the supermarket is a greater threat to the environment than the air pollution generated by coal-fired power stations. Purpose-bred hybrids drenched with chemicals, picked unripe and shipped thousands of miles to supermarkets are responsible for up to 30% of CO2 emissions,” says Clive Blazey. Heirloom vegetables have been bred for taste and to provide early crops, late crops and continuity in between, without the need for chemicals. Growing your own backyard heirlooms, which are selected for flavour and long harvest yields is not just good for you and your family, it is the quickest and easiest way to bring CO2 down to earth.
