At the start of another year, sometimes we hear about those old ‘resolutions’.
Not sure if they stay in place or not for everyone, but it does open people up to the possibility of starting things afresh.
As an arborist in the Northern Beaches, we provide arboriculture services to Northern Beaches residents, helping them with their garden and tree needs.
So if one of your new goals this year is to do something new with your garden, consider planting some seedlings that will give you food, like a veggie patch. It’s a wonderful outdoor project and is also satisfying to see what you’ve planted then grow into something you can eat.
Northern Beaches Arborist are experts when it comes to tree planting in the Northern Beaches region.
The Trend To More Self Sufficiency
Over the last 3 years we’ve seen tumultuous things happen the world over. Not one location has gone unscathed.
Virus outbreaks were certainly a key theme - but another thing we did see happen, was the breakdown in food availability at the supermarket.
One minute lettuce was $15, next minute you couldn’t buy any fresh meat – not to mention the toilet paper debacle.
This ongoing trend we’ve seen of particular foods ‘running out’, coupled with the enormous increase in the cost of living and interest rates rises, a lot of people are turning to their own backyards and taking steps to becoming more self sufficient.
Taking control of your food supply doesn’t have to be a big headache. Even just planting a few fruits or vegetables in a small veggie patch or some selected pots can put you in the right direction and give a sense of your own control over your food supply. Start small, and build from there!
