This simple online tool helps growers keep track of how much food they grow and how much money they save.

It stores your yield data and converts it into a money value, meal value and makes great graphs that you can show friends, family, supporters or even funders!

Reasons to use the harvest-ometer

To see how much you and your volunteers can grow.

To include in funding applications or on your website.

Because good gardeners keep records to improve yields (see Sustain Grow More Food publication).

To help us show policy-makers that growing food has a high value.

How does it work?

1. Register your garden with the Big Dig

2. Weigh and record your harvest

3. Log in to your dashboard

4. Open the Harvest-ometer

5. Select a produce type and enter its weight or quantity

6. View your harvest record and see its value

7. Check progress on your graphs or export the data

Screenshots from the Harvest-ometer

The picture below shows a table of existing items entered into the Harvest-ometer, and the user adding some onions. Also shown on the right are the totals for this and previous years if available, along with the option to export harvest data.

This image shows 255 grams of harvested onion being recorded. Weight of harvest can be entered in grams or by quantity (per onion).

And finally this image shows the Harvest-ometer graph, and the option to view your harvest in terms of meals. You can also show data from previous growing seasons and filter by type of produce.

Incredible beginnings

Once upon a time, about ten years ago, Pam and Mary met with a group of friends to dream and make a plan. In their northern market town they saw unloved places and wondered if they planted veg in them and encouraged people to take what they needed they could create a conversation that would enable people to think differently about the power and potential of their future. So spades in hand, they set to work. Growing spaces led to conversations that encouraged people to imagine that the power of these small actions could help people live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. Lives lived in connected communities, built out of the power of their own will, their own imagination and grown through the power of small actions.
Our story

2012

An Incredible network

The Incredible Edible Network was set up in 2012 in response to the huge popularity of the original group in Todmorden and the flood of enquiries from those who wanted to embrace it's aims.

Since then, the number of Incredible Edible groups in the UK has soared from 25 to more than 100, and the movement is hugely popular across the globe. Facebook fans are now in their thousands and conferences and workshops are held across the country. From compost to risk assessments, to working with local authorities the Incredible Edible Network is here to help.

People are inspired by the action of Incredible Edible and with so many growing and changing their landscape across the UK and worldwide it's easy to see why. There are no rules, just some values, stories and passion. And you don't need to sign up to a 'Statement of Principles'.

We would love you to join us on the journey. There are lots of people who have walked this journey before you, ready to share their learning and local networks meeting together to inspire and build each other up. We work in groups and with partners, with all who are willing.

THE Issa brothers have come up with plans for a new cemetery on land between Blackburn and Oswaldtwistle, the Lancashire Telegraph can reveal.

If approved, the plans will see a cemetery built on the land off Blackburn Road near West End Business Park on the outskirts of Oswaldtwistle.

The forecourt magnates, who run the Blackburn-headquartered EG Group and who own Asda supermarkets, are submitting an application to Hyndburn Council. The size of the development is said to be around 90 acres.

Presently, the main cemeteries in the areas are at Pleasington in Blackburn and Burnley Road in Accrington. This new development is aimed to service communities across East Lancashire.

The plans include the formation of burial plots and the construction of an administration building. There will also be a 'funeral parlour' and prayer pavilions comprising prayer halls and condolence rooms.

In addition, caretaker accommodation will be constructed on-site and there will be provision for 665 car parking spaces located 'in the main parking areas and throughout the internal road network'.

Extensive landscaping across the grounds are included in the proposals with internal paths and roadways throughout the site.

The development comes on the back of several major construction projects in and around Blackburn which have been led by the EG Group owners.

This site is just up the road from the brothers' £100million Frontier Park complex which has a service station, several food outlets, a 'Hampton by Hilton' hotel and various industrial units.

Hyndburn councillor Munsif Dad said the council was approached with the proposals a year a go.

He said: "It is something I am well aware of and something the council has looked at and had some input into.

"I am grateful that the brothers have reached out and consulted us first. From the initial meetings it seems like a good idea and something is very much needed in the area.

"Many Muslim burial sites are getting full. If it meets the needs of the community then it is something we would welcome.

"They have been around the UK looking at how other projects such as this have developed and they have good sound understanding from what I could see."

Cllr Dad added: "Of course applications are assessed on planning laws and we look forward to seeing further details."

Cllr Noordad Aziz said an investment of this nature may be of benefit to local communities. "Whenever the Issa Brothers have looked to invest or develop locally it has been beneficial to the area. The project is definitely something to be looked at," he said.
