Gerraí Glas

Garraí Glas is a series about growing your own food, using traditional and organic methods. We’d all like to get a little closer to being self-sufficient, and Garraí Glas shows that you don’t have to spend hours a day working your heart out to do that. All you need is a patch in the back garden that you spend a few hours a week looking after.

Traditional, organic methods don’t harm people, wildlife, water or the environment – and the feeling of picking and eating your own vegetables is very fulfilling.
