Crop Swap

I am hosting a Crop Swap on Sunday, October 12 from 11am to 1pm at the Canberra Tannery in Oaks Estate. The concept is simple: bring something you have grown in your garden or prepared in your kitchen that you would like to share with others, place it on the table and then help yourself to the things others have brought. It can be fruit, veggies, herbs, seeds, seedlings, bulbs, plants, flowers, jams, sauces, chutneys, pickles, eggs, honey and so on. It’s an inclusive, community focussed event and you certainly don’t have to be a green thumb or great cook – I’m not! If you think you don’t’ have anything to contribute, here are some easy ideas on what to bring:
1. Buy some bananas. Eat the bananas but put the peels in water and bring them along on Sunday. It’s a great liquid fertiliser rich in calcium and magnesium
2. Keep your coffee grinds from your plunger coffee. Great for blue berries.
3. Cut the bases off the spring onions you have in your fridge. Put them in water and watch the roots grow, Bring them along like this or plant them in a pot. You never have pay money for spring onions again.
4. Buy a punnet of lettuce and a bag of potting mix. Cut holes in the bag and just stick the seedlings direct in the potting mix. Keep watered and by the time Crop swap comes around you will have lovely lettuce to share!
These things are very popular and always go. And in return you get the absolute best produce and amazing foods that money just can’t buy. In the process you might make new friends and contacts and learn a lot about growing produce and how to use it. Hope to see you there. CROP SWAP Sunday October 12th 11:00am 11:00am-1:00p 1:00pm At the Canberra Tannery End of Underwood St, Oaks Estate Bring Vegies, Fruits, Jams, Pickles, Seeds, Seedlings, Herbs, Flowers, Chutneys etc. Take home something unexpected. Free Tea and Coffee will be available. vailable. (Disclaimer: this is a Crop Swap, and not Market, no money is required or to to be expected.
