Get down and dirty with the kids

We have a massive garden and in one corner, there is a vegetable patch (when I say corner, it's the size of the average London garden!).  This should inspire me to grow my own right? Well, it would if I didn't have such a hands on father that keeps it full of yummy produce and even delivers it to my back door!

Well, this year I am determined that the kids and I will be more involved and whilst looking into it (I'm an ex-lawyer, we can't do anything without researching fully first!), I found this great article about making your own compost. What could be better, a fun activity with the kids that teaches them a little science- I'm sold!
