I don't know about you but I came to the idea of growing stuff for myself pretty late on. In my younger days, food was something that I bought from a shop, although I did gradually progress to the idea of buying foods that needed cooking as opposed to the stuff that I could buy and eat within 30 seconds!
Nevertheless, I guess that I would have to admit that I was something of a pagan as far as the benefits of organic foods was concerned until I read about a lady called Rachel Carson.
Now, if you know anything about organic agriculture and gardening, you may already know Ms. Carson, but if not, she's someone who made a pretty terrifying discovery a good few years back. At that time, chemicals seemed to provide the perfect answer to every problem, including that of making food growth more efficient and profitable.
One of the chemicals most widely used to promote crop growth was DDT until Ms. Carson proved beyond doubt that it was killing birds who were eating the plants that has been sprayed with it!
From that point on, the growth of organic, natural agriculture and gardening techniques was almost inevitable, so that nowadays, organic gardening is a hobby or pastime enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.
But, as I have recently discovered reading an excellent new e-book called 'The easy guide to organic gardening', there are lots of different reasons why organic gardening makes sense apart from the fact that chemicals might kill you (which is admittedly a fairly persuasive argument!).
It has for example become increasingly common to find organic produce in high-street shops and supermarkets over the past few years meaning that most people are somehow aware that organic foods are in some vague way better for you than non-organic varieties.
However, what you might not be aware of is the fact that if you buy non-organic vegetables and fruits for example, you're wasting a lot of money on something that is for most of us completely free - water!
And of course, if buying commercially grown organic produce makes sense, it obviously makes a great deal more sense to grow your own as this reduces the cost still further and allows you to make sure that everything you grow is as nutritious and healthy as possible.
Of course, becoming a successful organic gardener is not as easy as it might seem if you don't know what you're doing. Whilst anyone can become a successful organic gardener, there are never less quite a few factors that you need to take into consideration and master to achieve that success.
This is why 'The easy guide to organic gardening' is going to become a standard 'must have' work for anyone who wants to grow their own organic garden. Not only does it give you the reasons why you should grow things organically, it teaches you everything you need to do so in a very straightforward, 'do this', 'then do that' step-by-step manner so that you know how to do it as well.
It even details some the easiest-to-grow vegetables so that you can get started as an organic gardener pretty much straight away even if you have never been tempted to grow anything before.
The bottom line is, if you have any interest in growing your own healthy, nutritious vegetables and fruits (or even if you're more interested in growing strong, iridescent flowers), 'The easy guide to organic gardening' is the only organic gardening guide you will ever need...
