"Try to start farming"
For Mona Karlsson Regalado, the new restrained existence works well, but it requires a certain amount of planning.
- You can go around and see where it's cheapest and then I can tell people, try to start growing vegetables at home, it's a lot of fun!, says Mona Karlsson Regalado.
