Emma Cooper is a freelance writer, photographer and podcaster. An active organic gardener, Emma lives in Oxfordshire with three plastic compost bins, two wormeries and a pair of bokashi bins. There used to be chickens, too, but they have all moved on to pastures new.
Emma loves making compost and growing edible & useful plants in an environmentally-friendly way. Her first book, 'The Alternative Kitchen Garden: An A to Z', covers a wide range of topics from green gardening techniques to unusual edible plants and was published by Permanent Publications in 2009. Emma's second book, 'The Allotment Pocket Bible', was published by Crimson in June 2011.
There’s an article in the December issue of Grow It! magazine, extolling the virtues of Samphire.
Apparently it should be easy enough to grow in containers in the garden, although it does have to be watered with salt water. Sounds like an interesting experiment, and so of course I want one.
According to the article, Victoriana Nurseries are selling plants. There’s just one snag – the website says they’re not available until May 2008.
