Organic Gardening for Beginners

Do you want to learn how to build your own organic garden? Then keep reading...




Organic gardening replenishes the natural resources as it uses them. In organic gardening, you consider your plants as part of the larger natural system that begins with the soil and includes water supply, the wildlife; insects and people. Everyone wants the food we serve to our families as well as our environment to be safe and healthy. A good organic gardener strives to ensure that his or her activities are in harmony with the natural ecosystem and aims at minimizing exploitation as well as replenishing all the resources consumed by his or her garden.

Once you have made the decision to grow your own veggies and fruit, rather than buying what is available on the shelves, you are in control of what you put into your body. This is the beauty of organic gardening - you can now safeguard your body's health by avoiding harmful pesticides and fertilizers.

I personally believe in sustainability and that is one of the reasons why I chose organic gardening. When you garden on a smaller scale it is amazingly easy to do it sustainably and without using harmful pesticides and chemicals.

Of course, there are studies which support both viewpoints but it is generally agreed that food grown organically is higher in phytochemicals and vitamins. Organic produce may contain up to forty percent more of the antioxidants that conventionally grown food has. And although the debate is still open with regard to the benefits of antioxidants, why not give it the benefit of the doubt and go for the potentially healthier option.

I find that fruit and vegetables from my own organic garden taste much better than their counterparts from the supermarkets. I know that some people might have a different viewpoint and taste, but the evidence supporting my claim is mounting every day. Some recent studies conducted on rats, revealed that they prefer biscuits baked with organic wheat and they consumed a lot more of these than the conventional ones.

Even if my preference for organically grown food is due to the placebo effect and I might not be able to distinguish them from other food during a blind test, it does not change the fact that I derive more enjoyment from the taste of my own organically grown food. So, no harm done and I am happy and satisfied.
