Unfortunately growing vegies will be actually be of quite some economic importance to me by this time next year and hence my interest in factory fertilisers versus non-factory - If that is the case, work out how much your motor vehicle costs to run, because you will need to factor that into everything you do food wise. The cheapest food is bulk buying at the markets. The early markets where all the grocers buy, not the retail/paddy's type. the problem then becomes with what to do with 40kg bags of carrots, etc. which you can always compost 50% {;-). Otherwise, start looking around for supplies of organic matter; manure and compost. Perhaps a local restaurant won't mind you taking vege scraps away. If you are going to handle meat scraps, you really have to know what you are doing with composting as it can smell = problems with neighbours. Look at race tracks, they are generally quite happy for people to take the manure away. One problem with racetracks and other sources of manure is that they sometimes spray their manure with pesticides to keep the flies away. |
