Container Garden Guide

If you want to avoid at least some of the toxins and harmful chemicals we are exposed to nowadays, growing organic food is one important way to do that.

Fungi, bugs and micro organisms cause diverse kinds of plant deseases. To protect the crop from these, food grown in a non organic manner is regularly sprayed with various toxins.

Although these toxins are designed to harm the living organisms they are used against, they also harm humans as well as many other living creatures.

But how do these toxins get to us then? Well, for one thing they remain to a certain extent in the plant itself; thereby making you ingest toxins as you eat (doesn’t sound all that delicious, right?). They also trickle down into the ground water, which we drink, use for food preparation and perhaps for watering crops. Some chemicals even spread through the air if the crops are sprayed when it is not absolutely windless.

Depression, cancer and hyperactivity are some of the effects all these chemicals might have on the human body. As I’m sure most people are aware they also threaten the wildlife of our planet, slowly diminishing the number of individuals and species. All this makes it an easy decision to avoid the chemicals whenever you can.

Once knowing all these facts, growing organic food seems like quite an idea, right?

Then how do you go about doing this? Do you have to be a professional gardener, knowing all the nitty-gritties? Absolutely not. You need to have an interest, you need to enjoy working in the garden, and you need to be willing to learn some basic steps.

Engage your children! Most children like gardening, at least some part of it. My own daughter loves sowing and watering the seeds, as well as harvesting the veggies or the flowers. The weeding and the watering during the growing period she gladly leaves to me, although she takes interest in how the growing proceeds.

It is well worth it to put some effort into your gardening, as you will be able to present your family with the freshest and healthiest food ever, all coming from your own garden, tiny, small or large.
