Gardening Organically
Stop Feeding Your Family Poison!

Have You Ever Peeled a Beautiful Orange and
Found the Inside Dry and Tasteless?

Are You Tired of Supermarket Recalls
On Bad Fruits and Vegetables?

Do You Wish For Fresh, Healthy Fruits
and Vegetables to Feed Your Children?

Finally, Learn How to Protect Your Family’s Health and Serve Crisp, Colorful and SAFE Fruits and Vegetables By Growing Your Own Organically!

No parent would knowingly feed their children poison. Sadly, that’s exactly what is happening every day. Even the most caring and conscientious parent can’t fight what they don’t see.
And yet, that’s what happens each time you place a meal on your table. The vegetables appear attractive, colorful and may even taste okay. However, it’s what is inside that is harmful.
Yes, we live in a wonderful age. Life has grown much easier for us with supermarkets, microwave ovens and instant foods. However, all of this “convenience” carries a pretty hefty price. Think about it for just a moment and see if you can add to these:
· Soil additives to increase yield per acre
· Hybrid seeds that produce more visually appealing vegetables
· Insecticides that chase away pests
And, think about it for just a moment – these are vegetables and fruits that are grown in the U.S. with the benefit of government oversight. What about all the imported produce?
The FDA will tell you that imported produce is regulated. If that’s the case, then why were we afraid to eat tomatoes and chili peppers in the spring and summer of 2008 because of contamination.
We love getting things like berries, melons, fresh corn and cucumbers when there’s three feet of snow on the ground. A hundred years ago such a thing was unheard of. Again, what’s the price?
Exploring The Options
Frozen fruits and vegetables are one option. But remember, these are just the same produce. The difference is they are flash frozen.
The same thing is true of canned foods. In fact, these are even more detrimental because of the additional processing they undergo.
Dehydrating is another option. In fact dehydrated foods can be delicious when re-hydrated. The problem? You’re still beginning with the very same food that has a suspicious beginning.
There is one option left. And, it’s the only option that will guarantee the foods are fresh and free of poisons and other harmful additives.
What’s The Answer?
Grow your own and do it organically! It’s not as difficult as you might think. The only way that you can guarantee that your family is protected from environmental pollutants in their fruits and vegetables is to grow them yourself.
But, not just any method will do. To be truly safe, organic gardening is the answer and we have the roadmap for you to follow. “Gardening Organically” is written with you in mind. No matter what your level of expertise, this handbook is just what you need to get started right away.
“Gardening Organically” not only teaches you what you need to know about growing those delicious vegetables for your family but you will also learn about organic gardening just for the pleasure of beauty. Well, take a look at what we mean:
· Creating an Organic Butterfly Garden
Learn how to lay out and plan this unique organic garden.
· How About an Organic Water Garden
Explains how to create this type of garden, select the right plants and all about keeping it organic.
· If Roses Are Your Specialty
This can be quite tricky and requires much dedication but you can learn how to do it
And if that isn’t enough and you want more…
Learn how to begin and maintain your own organic compost. Many people think that their compost is automatically organic. That’s not quite true. Get the facts in our chapter dedicated to this topic.
