The first line of defense for maintaining your health is nutrition, and an organic diet goes a long way in fulfilling that need. Pesticide and herbicide residues are to be expected when it comes to conventionally farmed foods. Moreover, many people worry that GMO foods can also have a detrimental effect on their health.
Unfortunately, many people feel that buying organic foods at the grocery store is too expensive; however, if you have a backyard, growing your own organic vegetables is not only easy but fun. If you have children, growing an organic vegetable garden is not only good for their health but also a valuable life experience.
Before you begin to plant, first, think about the vegetables you and your family like to eat. Second, research the types of vegetables that will thrive in your soil and climate. While you can’t change the climate in your region, you can amend the soil with organic gardening supplies.
If you’re lucky enough to live in a warmer climate, it’s very possible to grow your own food year-round. However, if you live where the winters are cold, learning to air-dry or can your crops is yet another step to take.
Not only will starting your own organic garden save money, but you will also be more self-sufficient. Even a small patch of ground can yield a surprising and rewarding harvest for you and your family. Get started now, you’ll be surprised how easy and rewarding gardening can be.
