We grow for you!

Yes, that is an old toilet and cistern on the patio! We don't waste anything here at Millknock Farm, and after replacing the toilet in the house this year we found a new use for the old one! It was thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant before being filled with compost, and tomato plants placed in it. The tomatoes on these plants are just starting to ripen now, with the first one picked last week.

This picture shows the herbs (from left to right: Thyme, Parsley, Oregano, Chives) growing in the old tyres in the back yard.

And here is the rosemary plant growing in the flower bed beside the patio.
