"Mummy, where do carrots come from?" The Root Viewer has the answers

It's the classic yet inevitable moment that makes every parent groan: ask your child where the veggies on his plate come from, and the chances are the answer will be - unless you're lucky/together enough to have a kitchen garden - 'the supermarket'.

Here's your solution, even if you live on the fortieth floor and don't have much space: the root viewer from Ethical Superstore in the UK. It lets you grow root vegetables in full view, before pulling them up and eating them. Which might even be an educational process for some of us adults who've lost touch with the land.
