My name is Gwen Petitpierre and I have developed Goodlifegateway to provide 4 varieties of Liquid Organic Plant Food. These plant foods are the result of growing up on a fairly traditional smallholding, where my parents grew all our fruit and veg, kept beef and lamb, and used typical methods of the time, i.e. the 1970's. If there was a weed, it was weedkillered, if something needed a boost, a trip to the barn provided all the chemicals you could imagine.
When my children were born, I started to think very differently about the food we ate, how it was produced and how to grow strong healthy…

Most businesses have been urged to conduct a carbon footprint review to gauge just how much carbon has been used producing their product. In conducting this exercise, even down to calculating the carbon used by employees getting to work, we realised our product absorbed carbon during production thereby offsetting the inputs used. We decided to measure this carbon absorption to see if it was significant.
We grow the plants on the nursery for 3 - 5 years so the carbon sequestered is cumulative the older the plants get. The plants are grown in 1 litre pots in the first year, 3 litre pots in the…
