Excerpt:
I have always been interested in growing my own fruit and vegetables and trying to live in a more sustainable way. Being at home a lot more during the pandemic meant that I had the time and energy to begin to realise my dream. I decided to utilise the front garden, turning it from an uninspiring scrap of lawn to a worm-composting system and raised vegetable beds. It took a lot of digging and then covering the soil with cardboard to naturally create a blank canvas over the winter. Once my composting system arrived and was set up, I was able to plant some flowers and my first vegetables.
Two thousand worms took up residence under their worm blankets and have begun turning my food waste into compost that will feed my vegetables – before the vegetable waste is recycled once again by the worms. As I start to produce larger quantities of compost, I’ll be adding more raised vegetable beds, and my front garden will have been transformed into a mini allotment.
