More adopting the 'grow-your-own' approach to food

The Original Factory Shop in Monifieth has reported a massive increase in the sale of products aimed at those who want to create a little of "The Good Life" in their own gardens.

Store manager Karen Rennie said sales of the range have rocketed by 165%.

"We began to see an increase in sales of our Grow Your Own ranges back in 2009. At the time, people were becoming more savvy about where food has come from and what's in it.

"Growing your own food seemed to be a low-cost way of gaining that knowledge and eating organic food. Now it seems to be the greater need to get back nature that is driving people to start developing their own fruit and veg patches."
