Simply put, organic gardening means growing your plants without using man-made chemicals. These can not only collect on your food and contaminate it but can kill off beneficial insects that will help your garden grow better.
Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases a “Dirty Dozen” list – the top twelve USDA tested produce with the highest pesticide loads. Some of the repeat offenders include celery, spinach, potatoes, peppers, kale, and tomatoes. Just think how much pesticide you’re consuming when you’re not going organic.
Going organic also reduces the risk of food contamination. E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria are the most common offenders for food borne contamination. There’s no need to worry about these when you grow your own produce.
What could be better than simply stepping outside your door and harvesting your own produce?
Growing your own vegetables is not only healthier and tastier, it’s cost-efficient. A hundred pounds of tomatoes from a hundred square feet. Twenty pounds of carrots from 24 square feet. All you need is a little patience and some smart tactics and you, too, can get this sort of yield from your home garden.
Thankfully, a vegetable garden is very easy to start. You don’t need as much effort as you might think to keep it growing strong, either. Follow the tips and tricks featured in this special report to have the vegetable garden of your dreams.
