John Burton's vegetable garden compost heaps are behind the broad beans.

My father John H Burton wrote the attached article some time in the 1970s or possibly 1980s. I think it was published in a newsletter about self reliance.

John was a teacher of rural and envirnomental studies - eventually lecturing at what was then Alsager teacher training college (now part of Manchester Metropolitan Univeristy). He died in 1997.
