Caitriona Redmond talks to Noel McGuinness on Northside2Day about the Balbriggan Allotment Association.  She describes the benefits of growing your own vegetables and fruit, the social aspects of having an allotment and the therapeutic effects of gardening.  In addition to the allotments she says they will have a pig rearing area and another area for bee-keeping, as well as a plot for growing willows as fuel. Caitriona says that there will be courses for beginners who are new to having an allotment and courses in composting, growing your own herbs, etc. so that people can learn as they go along.
