[QUOTE="Chasingmytail, post: 8146968, member: 21680"] I have done for a few years and have poly tunnel which is essential for salads etc. I havent grown outside for a few years before the OH didnt plan the beds too well and its on rubbish ground even though we tipped tons of compost in. Its essential to plan it really well and get the compost. Making your own compost in vast amounts is one of the things you need to get the system on a roll. I have a lot of fruit trees so we get plums, apples etc but the issue there is its very seasonal. What I will do is plant lettuce but well above ground on the veranda where I can keep an eye on it. That will save me a few quid in posh salads, I also like rocket that grows very easy apart from bolting. Potatoes are easy but storage never worked for me so you need to plan for a weekly dig up. Dont plant too many either. [/QUOTE]
