LET`S GROW TERMS & CONDITIONS

BARTERING RULES ? To start with the system of swapping often called bartering, you need to be very sure of what you have to offer and what you are intending to get out of it. The whole ethos of Let`s Grow to help grow a caring, sharing community & a self sufficent society.  If you grow your own vegetables, what do you expect to have a surplus of at harvest time? Do you keep goats, chickens or a cow? If so, you are likely to have a regular supply of eggs, or milk, yoghurt and cheese that you could use to exchange for goods.
