Eating fruit and veges straight from the garden is the best way of getting their nutrients, and they taste even better without all the nasty chemicals commercial outlets use, plus you get the satisfaction of growing something yourself.  Patch from Scratch can help you on your way to become the ultimate organic vege gardener; with advice or hands-on help to create organic vegetable gardens in any outdoor space. They'll even help you with the maintenance. 

Patch from Scratch gardens are built into a raised wooden bed made from untreated timber, so there’s no need to dig up your existing garden, and once installed, their experienced gardeners will then teach you simple but effective organic gardening methods such as crop rotation, companion planting and natural pest and disease control.  Their maintenance pack will help you keep your plants alive and keep you clued up on all you need to know.

At this year's Autumn Home Show, Patch from Scratch will be giving hourly talks for beginner vege gardeners on topics including;

• Crop rotation
• Monthly planting calendar
• Companion planting / beneficial flowers/ insects
• Pest and disease control
• Composting
• Worm farming

They'll be on hand throughout the show to demonstrate their expertise, give you organic gardening ideas as well as to provide you with all the hardware, plants and materials to get you started. Grown without chemicals or pesticides, fresh organic veges are the ultimate health food. Learn about organic gardening from the experts, and see how easy it is to adopt chemical-free gardening into your lifestyle.
