Organic Food Gardening Beginner’s Manual

Description

Thriving and productive organic vegetable gardens don’t just happen. They are the result of planning, preparation and persistence. Your organic garden will produce higher yields and more amazing results year after year, providing you pay attention to what works well in your garden and what doesn’t. Like our gardens, our knowledge of gardening is a process undergoing constant change. That’s one of the great things about organic gardening – you just keep learning. But first off, let me congratulate you on deciding to go organic! By committing the time and effort required, you will find the rewards to be well worth it. The benefits of eating fresh, chemical free, live foods, rich in vitamins and minerals are obvious. Some other benefits you may not have considered are the health benefits of exercising, being in the sun (vitamin D) and fresh air, being able to go outside and pick what you want for your meal, interacting with other family members in the garden, stress/anxiety release, recycling of organic materials, leaving a smaller footprint on the environment… you get the idea! So what is the difference between ordinary gardening and organic gardening? Basically organic gardeners choose to garden in harmony with nature, by using natural and organic materials and practices. We avoid using synthetic chemicals and fertilizers at all costs . This way we are as kind to our health and the environment as possible. It is a holistic approach to gardening, where all elements and their interaction with other elements are observed and taken into consideration.
