Backyard Brothers

You might remember the handsome lads from the Little Veggie Patch Co. from our feature in Issue 13. Well, get your spades and rakes ready because Fabian and Mat are back with a whole new guide on how to unleash the farmer within! The Guide to Backyard Farming is a compendium of garden tips and tricks, illustrating everything from making planter boxes to foraging for food in your neighbourhood and squeezing lemonade from home-grown citrus. And with a recipe for each chapter, you’ll soon be nibbling away on those plants you’ve toiled over, gourmet style! To help you channel your inner farmer, we have a copy of The Guide to give away! For your chance to win, just comment below and tell us what edible goodies you dream of growing in your backyard. {Comp closes 5pm, Wed Sept 26th 2012. Australian residents only.}
