What is behind the huge trend of vegetable gardens and backyard chickens?
Surprisingly, it is not the higher costs of groceries. A recent survey showed the biggest motivation for 1,598 new gardeners to start growing their own food is food security, says Marjory Wildcraft, creator of the acclaimed tutorial titled “Grow Your Own Groceries,” which contains 2 DVDs and a CD mini-library.
