Home grown food - where to start

[nickdutch]

Although I haven't experimented with it, I did see a blog entry that was about using the daily kitchen plant based compostable refuse in the blender. The idea being to blend it all up with water and then pour the slurry onto the plants to make a quick easy meal for the plants.

Dunno if thats any good for you, but its just an idea.

Dont forget that dandelions aren't weeds, the leaves are salad vegetables and the flowers can be eaten or made into teas too.

Thanks folks that is really helpful!!!

I will definitely buy some heirloom seeds, have had a good
look at that site already. Will need some potting compost too.

Hopefully I can patch up the greenhouse quite cheaply, and ty for the tip about glaziers . How bad a problem is it anyway if some panes are missing?

Seaweed - good idea! And improv composter from pallets

Sounds like i need to plan the site carefull according to what i hope to grow and perhaps if anything i will buy ready made raised beds to make life a bit easier plus they look nice which is motivating.
Thanks again

If your greenhouse has panes missing, it ain't a greenhouse. It is 'outside'. A good greenhouse is worth it's weight in gold , in gardening terms.
