Feel like a cheerful story, with black tuesday coming tommorow, fancy a bit of a lighter story. The reality of the end of the project is starting todawn on me, its going to be strange without it, it has been such a huge part of my life...

Sky’s the limit for rooftop farming

Delegates to the massive Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP17) in Durban are going to learn all about rooftop farming – and they will not have too far too travel either.

Just across the road from the International Convention Centre, where the global conference is being held, there are cabbages, onions and spinach growing next to the taxi rank in Monty Naicker (Pine) Street.

Delegates, who are due to descend on Durban in their thousands at the weekend, will get to see how to grow food even though there might not be enough space. Even a wall can lend itself to growing tomatoes and granadillas.
