Thanks for the warning, Rampant_weasil! Perhaps I'll end up spending my "profits" on legal fees to fend off Sir Terry Leahy. I hope the lawyer will accept mooli in leiu of payment!
To continue the theme, here are the shop prices I used for my calculations. It's amazing that some things that are really easy to grow, l ike chard and rhubarb, are so expensive to buy. I will definitely be buying in some raspberry canes when they come into the shops. Soft fruit is the way forwards!
Anyone know what to do with mooli?
