Emma Cooper is a freelance writer, photographer and podcaster. An active organic gardener, Emma lives in Oxfordshire with husband Pete, 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.
So despite the fact that I undoubtedly used far too many, the Slug Buggers failed to protect my peppers last night. This one was still chomping away this morning. He’s now running the gauntlet of the chicken run, but he’s too big to be eaten.
In other news, I’ve had my first article published in the Guardian today: No Hoe Zone, about making use of some of those pesky weeds in the garden.
