Description

If you are reading this, then you must already be considering starting your vegetable garden. This consideration was probably spawned by one of the reasons that we'll be looking at.


I feel comfortable making this assumption because, as you will see, there are a ton of reasons why somebody would want to start a vegetable garden, which range from finances to health and from the environmental impact to the mental benefits.


All of that said the advantages of home gardening organically seem clear: you can avoid the potential health risks of exposure to petrochemicals and the ethical conundrums involved in the practices of industrial agriculture all the while growing much tastier, more beautiful, and most satisfying food. The benefit to yourself, your family, and your environment cannot be overstated, and even the smallest of gardens have an outsized impact.


Be creative and resourceful with your containers. All you need to keep in mind when choosing a container is to make sure that it has proper water drainage because the last thing you want is to drown and rot your plants. All containers must have drainage holes in the bottom, so consider this when hanging containers.

And much more...


One of the big changes in the last few years has been a strong push towards organically grown vegetables.


The use of chemicals to fertilize or treat crops for pest control makes perfect sense when you consider vegetable farming as an industry. The goal of any business is to ultimately make money.


A farming business may have a mission statement about the quality of their food or the happiness that it brings to the table.


If you want to buy your vegetables then you have two options. The most commonly chosen way to get vegetables is to walk or drive down to the nearest grocery store and see what is in stock. The quality of the vegetables in a grocery store can be great but more often than not they are simply average or even unappealing. Regardless of the quality, you still end up paying the same price all the same.


But let's say that you aren't concerned about chemicals in your food. You've been eating store-bought vegetables your whole life and you've never had any health problems.


Why should you care about going organic?


If you don't care about health then you should go organic because it tastes better. Studies show that organically grown foods are rated as tastier when subjects perform taste tests between organically and chemically grown vegetables.


This book will guide through the way of your dream garden. So what are you waiting for, let's begin Gardening!
