Organic Gardening
Many people are moving to some form of organic
gardening because they feel that much of the chemical
fertilizer used to raise vegetables commercially enters the
food chain and is harmful to our bodies. Gaining in
popularity is the use of manure that has been refined and
treated for the organic gardener thus avoiding the use of
chemicals all together. Of course, the establishment of a
compost bin is a wonderful way to nourish your garden
organically. Grass clippings, leaves, even garbage from the
kitchen can be added to the compost bin where nature will
do her work.
One of the fun things you might experiment with in your
raised garden is to develop your own source for seeds. As
an example, you may buy some corn that is very much
to your liking. You normally cut off the end of the ear before
cooking and discard the tip. Instead of throwing away that
section of the ear, set it aside and allow it to completely dry.
The kernels now become seeds you can plant in your
garden. Same thing can be done with squash and melons.
When planting tomatoes, be sure to plant several varieties
so that you can enjoy full sized tomatoes as well as smaller
salad varieties. Do the same with lettuce. Select a potpourri
of species for a wonderful variety. Next Chapter
