Vegetables in the patio container garden have been specially selected
because they
thrive in
pots,
containers, or growbags. This makes it ideal if
your
garden is paved, or if you'd prefer not to dig up grass to grow
vegetables. Vegetable plants included with the patio container garden
are
simple to grow
and require no
gardening experience. If you're unsure about any aspect of
vegetable growing, free guidance is available online at the Rocket
Gardens website.
Your vegetables will delivered as baby plants that can be planted
almost immediately. Because they're established and around
10cm
tall, it's easy to pick out any weeds that shoot up around your baby
plants. When your vegetables are ready for harvest, you'll be able to
conjure
fresh dishes in your kitchen with produce picked from your garden that
day. You'll be amazed at how much food you harvest you'll
save up to £300
from this
garden compared to buying organic produce from a supermarket.

plants.

about the environment.
Eco-Friendly Food
All plants are
seasonally
and
organically grown in Cornwall according to strict Soil
Association standards. No artificial heat, chemical
pesticides,
fertilisers, or sprays are used in growing.
No plastics or non-compostable packaging will be included with your
patio container garden. The vegetables you grow will of
course
have no packaging a huge environmental benefit considering
that two
thirds of household waste in the UK is packaging.
Why is organic, home-grown food good for you?
Organic food grown in your own garden is the healthiest and most
environmentally-friendly food
you
can get. Home grown organic veg has zero food miles, and is
not
laced with chemical pesticides and fertiliser.
Vegetables picked and eaten when they're fully ripe contain the maximum
possible amount of nutrients and have a superior taste.
Supermarket suppliers harvest vegetables pre-ripe, and there can be
days or weeks between when the vegetables are harvested and when you
eat them. Every day between harvesting and cooking, valuable
nutrients and taste are lost.
