Minimum waste, maximum taste

IF you were only to grow one crop this year, it should be salad greens, as they are super tasty and nutritious, yet fast and easy to grow.

Salad can be described as the classic ‘maximum return for minimum effort in record time’ crop.

Supermarket pre-packed mixed salad leaves are relatively expensive to buy and usually contain a cocktail of chemicals in the bag to boot in order to keep them fresh. For the same price (around €2.80) you can buy a pack of mixed salad or rocket seeds from which you will get nine to ten times the quantity almost effortlessly, whilst experiencing the joy of picking as much nutrient-rich, tasty leaves as you need.
