Chapter 1: Why Organic?

 

Has become more popular than ever because of the rise of genetically modified foods and dangerous chemicals leaching into our water supply and the food we eat. These chemicals get on our food when they are used as pesticides in conventional farming. They are very dangerous and can cause cancer and other health problems, especially once the toxins into our bloodstream and start affecting us whether we know they are there or not.
To avoid this mess, we should look toward organic gardening. Organic foods are very expensive to buy, for many reasons, but what this shows is that if you were to grow your own organic food, you would save a lot of money in the long run on groceries that are guaranteed to be healthy and safe for your family. If you don’t put chemicals and pesticides into your body, you will have fewer health problems down the line and be very glad that you are not suffering because of the food you ate once you reach a ripe old age.
Organic gardening is not only fine but it is rewarding and economical. It has become advised to eat organic foods whenever possible so that we can avoid these health problems. It is dangerous and unhealthy, especially eating certain foods like blueberries and leafy greens if they have been treated with chemical pesticides rather than organic methods. Because of the high yield of mega-farms, they use even more pesticides. Not only does it get into the plants, but it leaches into the soil and the water. That’s dangerous for the entire planet, and their output should be reduced.
Even just one organic garden will decrease the demand in the mega farm industry, and if everybody begins eating organic, they will have no choice but to stop monopolizing them like a very dangerous ways. Once organic food becomes affordable and more accessible than the food from mega-farms, we will see the world start to change for the better. If you want to be a part of that, then this is why you should read this book.

  7. The first thing to do is to figure out how to get started. The main question is how you’re going to build this. For many, you might start off with recyclable materials, because it’s insanely cheaper than having someone come out and build you a greenhouse. However, if you’re not a handy person, you’ll want to build it yourself. Also, recycling materials might be good, but in the long run it might not be. For example, polyethylene film is cheap, but it ages and has to be replaced every three months. Shop around for materials that work well. Ideally, go with fiberglass and panels of plastics for this because it’s almost shatterproof and it’s inexpensive. For you, it’s best to get a guy out there to build it for you, but tell them that the roof needs to be made of fiberglass.
  8. Now that everything is up, it’s time to talk about how to extend the growing season before you get started. For many, the first thing you might think of is the amount of plants you can grow. But, you also have to remember that you might get plants that are off-season, and it’s hard to maintain those. However, there is a way to grow plants year-round and to keep the off-season vegetables growing and producing what it needs to produce. You can do this easily, but make sure that you follow everything.
