Cottage Industries Getting Extra Income
In the garden
Take tomatoes and onions. You but two packs of seeds which will cost you no more than a couple of pounds. You sow from these 20 tomato plants and 150 onions (even then you will have only used about a third of the seeds !).
Then there's natures freebies such as horseradish - costs nothing, but made into sauce which is an easy and fast job, it's 100% profit. There's wild garlic, wild strawberries, blackberries, elderberry, all sorts of things. A good look and read of a wild herbal recipe / medicinal / useage book is quite mind boggling. Or just taper off one area from your garden and grow the same thing in it and sell that, flowers even. The thing is that from a working point of view, the garden is mainly spring, summer and autumn work, but the actual results of your hard work are to be had all the year round.
