does an apple a day breally keep the doctor away? (29)
curly28: Serious I am thinking of buying one of those mini gardens that fit into court yards and planting my own vegs. I have to wait for pergola to be put up then can see where I can work from there.
That way at least I will know I'm getting fresh vegs.

I do try to grow some opf my own vegies over summer, but this year I am trialing a hydroponic system for my tomatoes, looking good so far
but what I would really like to have a go at is aquaponics, you feed your fish and the fish water (complete with fish poo) feed your plants, your plants filter the water that goes back into your fish. So not only do you get great produce but after a few months get to go out into your system and harvest some very fresh fish!
If you dont want to eat the fish you can use goldfish , or koi (if permitted) instead of food fish

I think you need to take multi vitamins with todays fruit and vegetables.
apple might however this will certainly help lighten your appetite and also put the doctor off at least while you view this

Well after reading this I did a bit of research and now a proud owner of a Aquaponics garden. It is easy and fun to do. the GREAT thing is you don't add any pollutants that keep your veggies alive. And you can actually see the plants growing. So thank Jem for titivating me in this. Will keep you upto date.If you don't want to eat the fish you can use goldfish , or koi (if permitted) instead of food fish
