Grow Your Vegetables Online
from the you-can-create-any-business-online dept
Perhaps this one should really fit under the "not enough free time" category. A new site has been launched in the UK that will grow your vegetables for you. Don't want the hassle of managing your own vegetable patch? Just sign up for MyVeggiePatch.com and pick your patch. You tell them what you want to grow, and how, and more experienced folks will handle the actual work part of it. Then they'll send you your veggies when they're all done.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Can I grow *anything*?

Businesses are going direct
I don't see this as silly. In fact, giving the farmer a higher price than the local store is a great idea.
(and, their price is a bit high.)

Re: Businesses are going direct
I'm all for farmers, but this just doesn't help them.
Or at least, how is this better than "farmer's markets" or roadside fruit stands?
That's why I joking suggest they should grow pot. There's a market where people will pay premium prices for their own personal stash...

The way it USED to be.
So this UK site is using technology as a way to get back to where 'we' were.
