2 Top Benefits of Organic Veggie Gardening

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

Even our heads of state are joining this movement. Michelle Obama's promotion of organic vegetable gardening started right 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 throughout the second world war.

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

Conserving money is possible by growing organic vegetables despite the setup costs of tools, equipment, fertilizers and water. The best way to counterbalance the costs of developing a garden is to make the most of 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 eaten past their growing season and lower your grocery costs at the same time. Other vegetables like potatoes and squash can be kept without cooking.

Melons and tomatoes are costly veggies. They are also popular and regularly acquired at the grocery store. Grow great deals of these vegetables along with comparatively pricey broccoli, beans, beets, spinach and onions, and lettuces to decrease your food expenses.

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

Minimizing Your Carbon Footprint is a similarly important factor for the popularity of the organic vegetable gardening motion.

Growing an organic vegetable garden makes an ongoing contribution to sustaining our world. Vegetable gardens do not include carbon dioxide to the environment. They do not need cutting with electric or petrol mowers as lawns do. Growing veggies also reduces your 'food miles', (the distance food travels to reach your grocery store).

By composting plant material in your garden you are not only 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. Gather rainwater for watering and or use greywater from your house. My grandpa did the latter in a desert area for many years and supplied 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 expense and make your own contribution to a more sustainable earth.  See more info here
