Organic Vegetable Garden

                 
                      The World Health Organization produces reports to show how the use of

chemicals and other products on food, coupled with the manufacturing processes involved,

are actually a threat for our health. If you have space for a few pots or even a small piece of

land, it is a wise decision to grow your own organic vegetable garden.

               1. You will have no additives in your vegetables. Research by organic food

associations has shown that additives in our food can cause heart diseases, osteoporosis,

migraines and hyperactivity.

              2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products

are applied to obtain crops all the time regardless plagues or weather conditions, and affect

the quality of the vegetables. Besides, pesticides are usually poisonous to humans.

              3. Your vegetables will not be genetically modified (GM). Antibiotics, drugs and

hormones are used on vegetables to grow more and larger ones. One of the consequences

of this practice are vegetables which look all the same and are usually tasteless. Besides,

we end up consuming the hormones that have been used on the vegetables, with the

potential risks for our health.

             4. Eating your own organic vegetables will be much more healthy for you. They will

not contain any of the products or chemicals named above, and they will be much more

natural than any ones you would find at the supermarket. Your health will not be at risk

because you will then know that nothing has been added to your vegetables.

             5. Your own organic vegetables will be much more tasty. The use of pesticides,

synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make vegetables grow unnaturally and take

the taste away from them. With organic vegetables, your cooking will be enhanced as their

flavour will show fully.

             6. Organic farming is friendly to the environment. Because you won’t use pesticides

or other equally harming products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or the

air with the chemical components.

             7. When you grow your own organic vegetables you are contributing to your own

self-sustainability and the sustainability of the planet. Small communities have been

founded where members exchange products that they grow naturally, thus contributing to

create a friendly and better place for us.   more >>
