beat the Government's increased Tax on food by growing your own vegetables

If you have a patch of ground that is only growing grass, weeds or both - why not use it to grow your own vegetables? Soon New Zealand will have one of the highest tax rates on food in the World (only Denmark will be higher), but you don't need to pay the tax on everything.

We have our own citrus trees and a plot of ground is used to grow vegetables. This book, written for New Zealand conditions, is highly recommended. Some supermarkets carry it (ironically perhaps), and you can get it through our shop.
