Cheap meat
21.08.2023 - 12:00 / theunconventionalgardener.com / Emma Doughty
The surprising thing about the new chicken industry scandal is that anyone is surprised. In its quest to feed people as cheaply as possible, industrial farming has cut profit margins to the bone, providing plenty of motivation for cost-cutting measures, even those that risk lives.
The argument is that people need cheap food – and that’s an easy thought to agree with. People are poor, people are hungry – cheaper food must be better. But, in actual fact, people aren’t starving because they can’t afford food. They’re running out of money because housing costs have risen considerably, and are sucking up an ever-larger portion of our incomes. People are buying cheap food because they can’t afford the rent; their food costs are the only aspect of their budgets over which they have any control.
Once the scandal has died down, we will go back to “business as usual”, which means the true costs of cheap meat are brushed under the carpet. In no particular order:
The current scandal may encourage more people to become vegetarians, but probably not many. Perhaps more will become aware of the true costs of their food, and seek to eat less meat of better quality, with the environmental and health benefits that offers.
But cheap meat is a downward spiral, a trap from which it is hard to escape. The long term solution lies in looking at the bigger picture, and truly committing to lifting people out of poverty – by solving the housing crisis, reining in business practices that erode worker’s rights and incomes, and ensuring people have the money, time and skills to turn quality ingredients into healthy meals.

Veg as Cheap as Chips
The last of my root vegetables and Leeks are now consumed and a distant gastronomic memory. New baby salad leaves have been available but I do not take enough care to be able to binge on them until later in the season. Rhubarb once again is prolific and abundant so that I and the neighbours are enjoying the fruit of my labours literally.

Grow Your Own Cheap Violas
Violas are perennial and grow best in well drained soil that has an open structure to encourage fibrous roots and promote many stems from the same root. They may get a bit leggy so cut back two or three times during the spring and summer to encourage new shoots and more flowers. Aid this by applying a liquid rose fertilizer or seaweed and keep watered.

Cheap thrills: my must-have budget garden tools
Snappy little snippers: Years ago, I was gifted a pair of Italian-made “Inox” clippers a reader had bought at A.M. Leonard, saying she loved them. “How can these little things be any good?” I thought when the little, orange-handled, un-fancy things arrived, then quickly became addicted to the snips, which are technically fruit and flower snips, after decades as a Felco-user. Deceptively strong, and the narrow stainless blades are good for fine work, too. Inspired by those, I have since moved on to these needle-nose “fruit pruners,” by ARS. (Update: A helpful reader wrote in to unravel the “Inox” mystery, saying: “It’s Euro-speak for inoxidable, which translates roughly into stainless or rustproof.” So not a brand.)Former bread knife: I upcycled my serrated bread knife into a perennial-dividing tool years ago, when I got a new one. Use it for dividing perennials with fibrous roots too tough to tease apart, or to cut out dead portions such as the
