Stories of sharing. We explain why not to look a gift horse in the mouth (especially when there's free energy at stake) and meet the people turning every bit of green space in their town - ditches, roundabouts, abandoned parking lots - into glorious edible gardens where the fruit and vegetables are for the taking.
