#digforvictory - A series of free to watch videos for those wanting to grow food.

This video looks at how best to prep your beds before we plant out later in the year.

Why should I grow my own food?

It's good for the bank balance. With so many people out of work growing food makes perfect sense

Growing food is good for our mental and physical health. Working with your hands in the fresh air is great for the body and the mind. Connecting to nature and the earth is very grounding!

Making food. As we have all learnt in the past few weeks our food supply chain is very fragile. In these challenging times it makes perfect sense to grow some food and reduce our reliability on the very delicate food chain.

Sickness and Isolation. Growing food means people can stay at home for longer, eat their own food, have something fun to do and reduce their contact with others.

Supporting the local economy. Growing foods means we can give food to friends, reduce spending and contribute to building local community and economies.

Education. It is far easier to engage and educate children and young adults when you are actually making stuff happen with your hands. If you need to stay indoors for a week or two then why not use it as a time to learn, have some fun and make something that is good for you and the family.

Everyone can grow food. We are not saying that food is going to run out but having a few salads and edibles in your garden or windowsill is a brilliant idea! Everyone can enjoy creating stuff that they can actually see grow, nurture and eat!
