No Time to Grow dispels the myth that growing your own food is a luxury reserved for those who lead a life of leisure. It demonstrates how with good planning, organization and a little patience anyone with some ground to work can make a significant contribution to their diet. The philosophy is always that it is better to give it a go and produce something than not try and to produce nothing. The author sets out to demonstrate ways of working and thinking to enable the production of a relatively large amount of fruit and vegetables with minimal time investment. The objective in doing so is not purely an economic one, or even purely environmental, but one of offering a degree of independence in a world where the individual is so dependant on large organizations for most aspects of life. |
For the last 20 years Tim Wootton has lived, worked and gardened in South Somerset, experiencing the constant challenge, common to most would be self-supporters, of trying to balance the desire for independent food production with a demanding working life and family commitments. This is a distillation of the experiences gained over this time: the results of a little research and a lot of experimentation |
