    Good afternoon,
    my name is Yan, I have been freelance gardener for 8 years now. Currently i cooperate with Kingston University on a project that aims to monitor the food production in urban areas and as such I would like to ask if there is anybody who could spare a few minutes for a chat about growing food in towns, preferably someone whose garden/allotment is based in urban settings.
    Please do not hesitate to comment, any interest would be much appreciated.
    Thank You Yan

    I have a set of 6 questions that usually take 5to10min max. Mainly related to reasoning, timing, diet and constraints within the production of own vegetables. The study is very interesting itself. I wonder whether you and anybody else on this forum would be willing to be interviewed on the phone. John my number is [number removed by admin] send me a text with your name and the time you are available. But please no pressure if you do not feel comfortable about it.
    Thank You for your response

    Just a suggestion Yan Kuna - if you post your questions here, then you might get plenty of answers that will gather up online for you to pick up and collate at your leisure?

        I certainly hope so - last year was pretty good to be fair; I could happily put up with that sort of summer every year. :dbgrtmb:
