Why Grow Organic?
You may feel that growing your own produce is difficult enough,
without adding to the problems by growing them organically.
Well, you pays your money and you takes your choice, as they
say, but for me, there are several reasons for going the whole
hog:
- Firstly, you don't have to worry about handling all
sorts of noxious chemicals, wearing special gear to use it, and
all that
- Secondly, in my opinion (your mileage may vary
here), organically produced vegetables taste better
- Thirdly,
it's not really that much more work, the methods are different,
but no more difficult
- Fourthly, organic vegetables are
better for you
- And finally, why go to all that effort to
produce a substitute for cheap factory-produced food? Much
better to go for the good stuff!
Eat more fruit and veg for health
The British Government is always telling us to eat more
healthily. They say everybody should consume a minimum of
five portions of fruit and vegetables every day.
But how many chemicals are there in that much conventionally
farmed produce?
Organic fruit and veg may be hard to find at a decent price. And
if you do find a supplier, often the organic produce that is on
offer is not very attractive. It may be better for you
