We’ve all heard about food miles, right?  The miles that your food has to travel to get to your dinner plate.  The fewer miles your food has travelled, the better it is for the environment and the lower your carbon footprint.  So it follows that growing your own vegetables, in your own garden, is the eco-friendliest way to eat.  But it doesn’t stop at growing your own food, because you can be even greener by growing organically.  Not using pesticides and fertilisers that will harm the earth, get into the water table or poison the earth’s creatures will boost your green lifestyle credentials in a big way.

Here are some alternatives to the harmful chemical fertilisers that are so widely used, these are fabulous products that you can trust to deliver the goods without harming your environment.
