Two Leading Benefits of Organic Veggie Gardening

2 Leading Benefits of Organic Veggie Gardening

Gardening patterns tend to come and go but organic vegetable gardening has actually drawn in increasing interest over current times. With the long term sustainability of our planet a shared concern of many, it appears like this trend is here to stay!

Even our presidents are joining this movement. Michelle Obama's promo of organic vegetable gardening started not long after she moved into the White House. The Queen of England has a new garden called 'The Lawn Bed'. This is the very first vegetable garden to change the royal 'Dig For Victory' garden planted during the 2nd world war.

There are 2 main benefits of organic vegetable gardening and these are getting appeal all over the world. Initially, you can save money when you grow your own veggies. Second, you can decrease your carbon footprint -the amount of co2 you develop either directly or indirectly.

Conserving money is possible by growing organic vegetables despite the setup costs of tools, equipment, fertilizers and water. The very best way to counterbalance the costs of developing a garden is to maximize the yield of your garden. To do this, only grow veggies you enjoy and will consume. Select those that you can easily freeze or can like tomatoes, beets and sweet corn or cucumbers. These can be consumed past their growing season and decrease your grocery bill at the same time. Other veggies like potatoes and squash can be saved without cooking.

Melons and tomatoes are pricey veggies. They are also popular and regularly bought at the grocery store. Grow large numbers of these veggies along with comparatively expensive broccoli, beans, beets, spinach and onions, and lettuces to lower your food costs.

Grow veggies year-round. In many districts, veggies can be grown and gathered to keep your family in veggies basically all year. With some experience and some preplanning you can even grow more than one crop across each season in the exact same place.

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint is an equally important factor for the appeal of the organic vegetable gardening movement.

Growing an organic vegetable garden makes an ongoing contribution to sustaining our planet. Vegetable gardens don't include co2 to the environment. They don't need trimming with electric or gas mowers as yards do. Growing vegetables also lowers your 'food miles', (the distance food takes a trip to reach your supermarket).

By composting plant material in your garden you are not only producing organic fertilizer that will add nutrients to your veggies, you are also preventing the production of co2 and methane that takes place when raw material winds up in garbage dumps.

As water is predicted to be the next 'Gold', use this precious resource in your garden with thought and care. Gather rainwater for watering and or use greywater from your house. My grandpa did the latter in a desert area for several years and provided his own family and the majority of the neighborhood with vegetables year-round.

The First Lady and the Queen of England have less need to save money than many but their efforts to promote the advantages of organic vegetable gardening can be praised. Consider starting your own organic garden so that you can enjoy a cheaper grocery bill and make your own contribution to a more sustainable earth.  See more info here
