Those of you who have seen us present our research findings will be aware of our evidence of the way the UK is experiencing a 'return to simpler values' through things like the explosion in Grow your Own vegetables; keeping chickens and the waiting lists for allotments in some UK cities.

We were therefore interested to hear about this initiative in Germany through our friends at Springwise who have found a new business who will prepare your veg plot for you. Meine Ernte will rent out a plot which is prepared and all the would be green consumer needs to do is tend to the plot and harvest their crops.

The company currently operate sites near six major cities and hope to double this during 2011. How long before we see a UK version .. or do you know of one already - if so let us know!
