Keys to starting your own garden:
Growing and eating from your own garden is extremely rewarding. It does take time, dedication and persistence to grow your own produce, however it is completely worthwhile. I grow my own spinach and silverbeet which is so handy when I want to make salads and green juices. By growing your own food you also become more health conscious and eco-aware. There are many benefits including saving money, time as you don’t have to run up to the grocers as much and you are joining a community movement that promotes a slower more conscious way of living.

Tips for growing Veggies:
Choose veggies that are in season and suit the climate as these will grow better.
Water daily! If you forget to water daily especially when they are still seedlings the plants can shrivel and wither up very quickly.
Use good quality compost and soil so water can be retained in the soil for longer and nutrients can feed the plants.
Make sure you check that plants are placed in a good position in the garden. Some plants can’t handle much sun while others happily thrive in hot and humid conditions.
Consider protecting your plants using chicken mesh and wooden sticks as birds, wallabies and other animals can take a liking to your scrumptious goods.
