In my backyard I have 16 tomato plants, three stalks of corn, 2 huge zucchini plants, parsley, four cabbages, snow peas, peanuts, potatoes, an orange tree, a lemon tree, a forest of mint and a rather large compost bin. My family is very interested in organic gardening. Every spring we set off to the nursery and pick up various plants, my dad starts off with one or two tomato plants and ends the summer with over 10.
Organic gardening can help reduce your carbon footprint. You do not have to drive to the super market to pick up fresh veggies, the fruits and vegetables are not transported across the country to your local Ralph’s or Trader Joes, and the produce is the most locally grown it can possibly be! You can choose to add bug repellent and things of that nature, but I choose not to because I think it interferes with the delicious natural taste of the fresh veggies. So, consider dedicating a small part of your yard to organic gardening.
Organic gardening ftw! sounds like a good idea, but all the small animals and such eat my plants =/
ReplyDeleteI love organic gardening! I have a lemon and grapefruit tree but I want to plant mint, tomatoes, and strawberries. Have any tips?
