So You Want To Have An Organic Garden?
Many people wish they had that elusive "green thumb" that will allow them to have an organic garden that will provide food for their family. Maybe you dream of walking through your backyard picking plump berries, juicy tomatoes and potent peppers.
This lens will talk about some of the ins and outs of starting your own organic garden so that you can get started on eating healthier with less pesticides and also saving money on your monthly grocery bill!
What Is Organic Gardening?
If you ask this question to many people, they will tell you that people who grow an organic garden are hippies or pioneer types who live in a commune and never bathe.In reality, organic gardening has become a real interest to many people for a variety of valid reasons.
First, economically, growing your own food saves a ton of money because you are not buying expensive food that has been trucked in. You are also only using what you need as you go with less chance of food rotting in your fridge (we all THINK we are going to eat that whole bag of carrots only to throw it out because they have turned that nice light white color).
Second, the pesticides used in commercially grown foods come with risks. In addition, the genetically engineered vegetables and fruits carry with them their own set of questions on the longterm risks associated with that process.
In truth, organic gardening consists of using animal and vegetable fertilizers rather than synthetics.
