Veggie boxes

Last year we started our veggie boxes. They were made from old potato boxes that we fixed up and lined. To fill them we used a mix of local soil and our own home compost and planted them up. They were successful, with a small crop of delicious leeks, spring onion, beetroots. However our cabbage, brussel sprouts and broccoli did not work.
This year we would like to improve so trying again with broccoli, brussels and cabbage, leeks, spring onion, beets adding aubergine, carrots, french beans, peas and cauliflower.
We are planting 3 boxes with sq foot planting technique and leaving 2/3 weeks between planting each box.

This weekend we prepared the boxes after letting them be fallow over winter. We gave them a dig over, mixed through fresh home compost and some sand.  Our garden has been chemical free for 6 years so as a natural pesticide we are using pureed garlic mixed into the soil too and will be using a garlic gardening spray later in the year as suggested by The Garlic Farm. 
The sq ft sections are marked by string and along with all our seeds we have companion planted with Calendula and Nastursium. 
​Really excited to see what happens this year hopefully we will be eating our own veg at harvest time.

I have tried their veggie boxes last week. And the quality as well as the variety is adorable. They have the fresh products with them. And the prices are affordable. I would highly recommend everyone to try these boxes once.

    the Journey

    My friends call me Love and this is  a personal journey
    ​that has and is changing my life  and the world for the better. Showing how little changes in everyday  tasks  can become second nature for us to care for the environment while caring for ourselves. 
    ​Thought it would be nice for me to share my experience and ideas.
