Meet Kath Irvine, Edible Backyard, New Zealand

I'm Kath Irvine. I've been growing all the vegetables to feed my family of 6 for 20 good years. Spray free, natural, low input food gardens are my thing. I believe in smart design - it saves time + money + the planet and makes a garden hum. I recycle + reuse + forage and use as little plastic as poss. I believe in a daily serve of fresh picked organic greens for a happy mind + strong body and it's my dream that every New Zealander have this. So I aim to provide the best organic gardening advice through my articles, writing books, workshops and garden consults.
