It's something that has been on my mind since I stayed with a friend several months back and tasted her home grown salads. I cannot believe the difference - to think, I've been eating this supermarket tripe for years!
Essential info: we are in NZ so it's currently winter.
What should I know? I'd like a herb variety, lettuces, tomatoes, and maybe some strawberries as I get the hang of things.
I am a complete novice to gardening, so would like to start off with basics and build my way up. We will have to use planter boxes due to the way our garden in structured.
How do I keep rats (and possums in this part of the world!) out of my veg? I'd like to keep things as organic as possible. Are there types of planters I can buy that will keep rats out?
Any other advice you can give will be gratefully received!
