Two Top Benefits of Organic Veggie Gardening

Two Leading Benefits of Organic Vegetable Gardening



Gardening trends tend to come and go but organic vegetable gardening has attracted increasing interest over recent times. With the long term sustainability of our planet a shared concern of many, it looks like this trend is here to stay!


Even our heads of state are joining this motion. 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 Backyard Bed'. This is the first vegetable garden to change the royal 'Dig For Success' garden planted during the second world war.


There are two main advantages of organic vegetable gardening and these are getting appeal around the world. Initially, you can save money when you grow your own veggies. Second, you can reduce your carbon footprint -the amount of co2 you develop either straight or indirectly.


Saving money is possible by growing organic vegetables despite the setup expenses of tools, equipment, fertilizers and water. The best way to counterbalance the expenses of establishing a garden is to maximize the yield of your garden. To do this, just grow veggies you enjoy and will eat. Select those that you can easily freeze or can like tomatoes, beets and sweet corn or cucumbers. These can be eaten past their growing season and reduce your grocery costs at the same time. Other veggies like potatoes and squash can be stored without cooking.


Melons and tomatoes are pricey veggies. They are also popular and regularly bought at the supermarket. Grow large numbers of these veggies along with relatively costly broccoli, beans, beets, spinach and onions, and lettuces to minimize your food expenses.


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


Lowering Your Carbon Footprint is a similarly essential reason for the appeal of the organic vegetable gardening movement.


Growing an organic vegetable garden makes a continuous contribution to sustaining our world. Vegetable gardens do not include co2 to the environment. They don't need trimming with electric or petrol mowers as lawns do. Growing vegetables also minimizes your 'food miles', (the range food takes a trip to reach your supermarket).


By composting plant product in your garden you are not just producing organic fertilizer that will add nutrients to your vegetables, you are also preventing the production of co2 and methane that occurs when organic matter winds up in garbage dumps.


As water is forecasted to be the next 'Gold', use this valuable resource in your garden with idea and care. Collect rainwater for watering and or use greywater from your house. My grandpa did the latter in a desert area for many years and provided his own household and the majority of the community with veggies year-round.


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