Any Human Power is the latest novel by Manda Scott, known for her Boudica series, who has recently contributed five articles to Permaculture magazine.

Many years ago we bought a large zinc tub at a flea market. When my kids were young, I would put it in the garden, fill it with water and let them splash to their hearts’ delight. But when they outgrew this kind of entertainment, I started using the tub for growing edibles.
