Food Gardening

In Organic Gardening we talk about farming the soil. This is because we believe that to grow good food you need good soil. At school we plant our vegetables in companions. We plant zone one as well as staple crop beds. Here are some examples that work well:

Summer Companions:

Zone 1: Cabbage, Beetroot, Potatoe

Staple: Potatoes
