There is truth in some of these old tales.
that's very interesting Ric, i'll have a search for that.
I have a unit, and in a wine barrel and a couple of pots, cherry & grape tomatoes, rosemary, basil, thyme, eggplant, capsicum, chilli, strawberries and garlic. I only really have the garden going over summer however.

The dream is to go off the grid one day (energy, water, waste water, vegies, herbs, eggs and fruit). That won't kick off for probably about 10 years however.
