Grow Organic Vegetables for a Healthier You! by Chantal Vanderlaan
The decision to grow organic vegetables is undoubtedly a good one. Organic gardening removes the dependence on chemicals. By eliminating chemicals used in regular gardening, your vegetables will be healthier because they will get the nutrients by natural means. Unlike traditional gardening; organic gardening will help to prevent potentially harmful toxins from entering your body, not to mention that is is much more environmentally friendly than traditional gardening.
The biggest disadvantage of traditional gardening is the use of man-made chemicals found in fertilizers and pesticides. Not only are these chemicals hazardous to the health of humans, they are also a threat to the environment. The use of modern gardening products
containing man-made chemicals are responsible for the reduction of the Earth's ozone layer; and they also have been linked to serious health problems, including cancer, in humans.
To grow organic vegetables means that you can eliminate the concern for destroying the environment, but more importantly, you can eliminate the concern for you and your family's health and well-being.
A quick study on these types of artificial applications can be unnerving for anyone. The side effects of chemical pesticides on the human body can truly take its toll. So many people are jumping on the "grow organic vegetables bandwagon" as a way to minimize the risks to themselves and their loved ones that often comes with commercially prepared foods.
You don't have to be a health nut to grow organic vegetables. Imagine how great you'll feel knowing that you are serving foods that were grown all naturally without the risks that come from applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Many gardeners wonder what exactly it means to grow organic vegetables. Think of your plants as part of a whole system within nature that starts in the soil and includes the water supply, people, wildlife and even insects. An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish any resources the garden consumes. Organic gardening operates on the concept of recycling. You use animal waste, kitchen scraps, and vegetable waste to mulch and compost.
When you start to grow organic vegetables, you will use common household items like vinegar and soap to prevent pests and weeds. Organic growers rely on developing a healthy, fertile soil and growing a mixture of crops. Genetically modified (GM) crops and ingredients are not allowed under organic standards. Organic gardening is the merging together of plants and soil allowing the Earth to naturally do what it was made to do.
