Organic Vegetable Garden – Growing Organic Vegetables the Easy Way
Growing an organic vegetable garden is one of the smartest and most responsible things you can do for yourself, your family and the environment. Your food will be healthier so you and your family will be healthier, and as if that isn’t enough, you will save thousands of dollars a year in produce.
Growing organic vegetables is very “in” now (how silly that it was ever out) but what does it really mean to be organic? For most people the term organic means the fruit or vegetable met no chemical ingredients on its journey from seed to table. And this is certainly true – organic fruits and vegetables were grown without the aid of pesticides, insecticides and herbicides.
But growing organic vegetables and fruits goes beyond this chemical free concept. To be truly organic, a farm or vegetable garden must be able to sustain itself. Any organism that is able to sustain itself has within it an intrinsic cycle. In essence the organism is nourishment which nourishes itself so as to become greater nourishment.
So, any good self-sustaining garden is going to need nourishment in the form of compost, also known as “black gold” among gardeners and farmers alike. When planning your vegetable garden, creating rich compost should be your very first step.
