I would strongly recommend not using peat. I have used coir for years, and never had a problem with it. I would also recommend using organic seeds, they don't cost that much more and haven't been dipped in fertiliser.

As to harvesting, some green you can cut all the leaves back and it will re-grow, others you might choose to harvest some of the outer leaves. I take the outer leaves because they are still young, and then the inner leaves can grow.

Good to see Fair Trade here. Needs to be put out there more often.

The chicken tractor is often used as an example of permaculture design in action. Wonder if the author found out about it from permaculture stuff....

I make a nasturtium pesto using the leaves and fresh seed pods. You can used nuts, parmesan depending on preference/allergies etc. Works nicely, and also used on a sandwich.

I am even more gutted that you can't buy it unless you're in the US or Canada. What about us Makers in Europe? Big brokenness

My flatmate was also a real migraine sufferer and cut out lots including citrus, which was major for her, but also dried beans, red wine, dried fruit, raspberries and much more... it did work for her, so take heart. She didn't have a problem with vinegar so I am surprised to hear that. We used it quite a lot to replace citrus.
