Over 20 million people in North America will be growing their own food this year. Organic gardening has been growing in popularity for years, and for good reason. The economy has many of us look-ing for ways to save on our food bill and growing your own pro-duce is one of the easiest ways to do this.
According to the National Gardening Association, the average gar-dener spends about $70 on their crops – but grows around $600 of vegetables!
And we all want to be sure that the food our families are eating is as healthy as possible. An organic garden ensures the
safest, healthiest produce for everyone.
You can also try out different varieties of the plants you find in your local store. Plus, there’s an added benefit: store-ripened produce simply can’t hold a candle to the taste of home-grown vegetables.
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.
