Veg, Veg and more Veg
"Polly" is in full production
Hi
It has been a few week from out last post as we have to do the regular Scouting stuff as well. With six weks without rain things were looking grim: the site was looking very sad and slow growing, then within days of the rain coming, the whole site came alive.
Everything is now growing like there is no tomorrow. We are harvesting fresh veg, fruit, eggs… can life get any better?
The chucks are in full production. We are now selling to Chatsworh estate to make their own homemade cakes, people are coming to the site each day to fetch fresh eggs and bring kitchen waste for the chucks to eat - great recycling!
We have lots of vistors: groups wanting to know how we started, funding where we intend to go forward with the project, etc.
Below are some of the great food we are producingwith the help of the chucks and that great fertilizer”cant beat it.” You would have thought some one would have thought of doing this before.
We are here to help any other goup wishing to go down the Grow Your Own route. It has been a great project for the Scouts and a great learning curve for the leaders. Enjoy the pictures.
