Running your garden successfully and naturally is not nearly as daunting as it might seem. Just a few generations ago this was the only choice!

There are numerous tips and tricks to getting things done without the need for pouring vast quantities of potential toxic chemicals all over your garden. Granted some of these chemicals do have their place, and certainly do make some tasks easier, but as with everything in life there is always a compromise.

This section of the website aims to impart some age old wisdom gleaned from previous generations. The ways things used to be done, when we all had a little more time and a little less access to buying things straight off the shelves. Some of these articles are also embracing some "new age" shortcuts using the wonders of our modern technology. Do you live in a climate that is just a little too cold to grow your favourite foods? Or does your colder climate result in a growing season a little too short for your plants to maximise their productivity? Why not build your own glasshouse out of easily obtained plastic sheeting? Maybe build a poly-tunnel on some insulated and raised gardens?

Does your family enjoy trips to the beach? Do you come home with an empty carboot? Why not turn the outing into an adventure and get the kids to see who can collect the most seaweed? Then educate them in the earth's own digestive process and get their help to convert that seaweed into a rich and nuticious compost for your vege garden.

To your left you will now see a range of articles. Please feel free to add your comments to the bottom. The more participation we can get, the greater the knowledge we can all share!!!
