Veggie family shares inside deets

Briefly News spoke to the family about how one gets started with a set-up like this and all that goes into having a successful home veggie garden. Here's the DL:

"We are not garden experts, just two people who fell in love with it and wanted to explore more, and everyone is a learning process.

"Just a bit of a backstory, Me and my husband grew up in the villages, and gardening was really part of life as it was a cheaper way for our parents to get vegetables and fruits. It funny how we both hated it, thinking this is so much labour. When I grew up, we did this, but we slowly found ourselves falling in love with the simple part of life, especially after our 8-5 jobs, and just being able to go to our garden to get vegies is honestly so rewarding. And it's even amazing involving our kids as it becomes a beautiful family time, and we hope our kids can grow with these skills."
