Lets all be Growers

"What we can say without any shadow of doubt is that petroleum man is just about extinct by the end of the century. That poses the thorny, difficult question, will Homo sapiens be as wise as his name implies and figure out a way to live without oil which is the bloodstream of virtually everything." Colin Campbell, in the film 'Farm of the Future', by Rebecca Hosking and Tim Green. Wherever we are, lets all be growers. After visiting Trevarno's National Museum of Gardening recently, I am more then convinced. Except this pit of wasteland in the Yorkshire Dales, couple of miles from the Flyingdales RAF Radar, North England. Perhaps Fordhall Farm's secret abut growing 'very special grass' that develops pasture land much more like a natural wild prairie, might work here.
