Organic Gardening for Beginners You Can Start An Organic Garden Too!


No matter what people say about organic gardening, theres nothing more important than you and your familys health.

As you may have knew or guessed it, organic gardening does not involve the use of chemical fertilizers which reduces the risk of Cancer, Birth Defects, Infertility and many other health problems.

Many know of such problems but they do not want to prevent it UNTIL it happens to them. Sad, isnt it? You may argue that money is important than health or equally important.

I cant stress the importance with words.

Healthy Happy Herbs A Beginner’s Guide To Herbs and Herb Gardening

Healthy Happy Herbs A Beginner’s Guide To Herbs and Herb Gardening


Herb gardening is something I’ve always wanted to try. I blame it on all of those cooking shows, tempting me with their delicious and mouthwatering recipes and always mentioning how the use of rosemary, thyme, basil and all of those herbs adds to the flavor of the food. So can you really blame me for wanting to try my hand at it?

Initially, I thought, “How hard could it be to keep a small herb garden?” Herbs are known to be hardy plants. The purportedly don’t need a lot to thrive – just provide them with sufficient sun and water. They can be grown in farms as comfortably as in apartments.

So imagine my chagrin when I walked into a garden supply shop and found 1,001 choices and not knowing exactly what I need! From soil selection, herb selection, choosing whether to get seeds or seedlings, fertilizer types, container types and so much more – I wasn’t prepared to make so many decisions all at once. The fight or flight reflex kicked in and I decided to take flight and do some more research.

That’s when I came across Jeannie Woods’ book called “Healthy Happy Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide To Herbs And Herb Gardening”. I was pleased to find that the book was easy to follow, even for someone like me who have zero gardening background. Not only that, it extensively covered all the relevant points that I need to understand to be able to make competent choices – from seed selection, to soil preparation, to harvesting and much more. It even covers composting and ways to care for your plants organically and economically at the same time.

I’ve been following the book’s advice for over a month now. While it’s still early to say if my plants are going to make it, I have a pretty good feeling that they will. What the book couldn’t prepare me for though was how much joy I’m getting out of caring for my small patch of garden (box is more like it, actually), which I totally did not expect.

Another great thing from buying this book – the freebie which I am absolutely enjoying. When I bought this book, it came with a bonus cookbook, which is all about cooking with herbs! The recipes are great. And it made it easy for me to choose exactly what kind of herbs I want to grow.

So, if you’re thinking of cultivating your own herb garden, be sure to check out Jeannie Woods’ “Healthy Happy Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide To Herbs And Herb Gardening”. It’s available exclusively at her book’s website at Happy Healthy Herbs. You’ll be glad that you did.

Organic Gardening For Beginners

Organic Gardening For Beginners


Every since I was a little girl my grandmother would take me to Virgina to my great-grandmothers farm. My graps (this is what I call my great-grandmother) had a 100 acres and she raised her own food. Her organic garden was about two acres. She never work for any one her whole life and she lived to be 88 years old.

One of the main things I remembered her teaching me was to always eat fresh fruits and vegetables. For which it is now called, organic food. Here are some of the benefits and what you need to do to start your own organic garden.

What you need to do before you begin your organic garden


1. You need to decide how big you want your garden to be.

2. Try not to make it no more than you can handle by yourself.

3. And this is very important!
You need to find the best place that has the most sunlight. The more sunlight the bigger and juicier your plants will be.

4. You need to find out if the soil you are going to grow your garden in is rich soil. If not then you will have to buy top soil to mix with your soil. You can always make a bed or buy sturdy 6 mil plastic - pre-punched drainage bag with holes.

This sometimes is easier, you just fill with grow media, plant your seeds and your garden is ready to go! Depending on how much space you are using depends on how many bags you will need.

5. Decide what is going to be in your garden. Tomatoes, onions, carrots, string beans and so on.

Organic garden tools you will need



In this Essential Garden Tools video you will see a bunch of tools you might not need if your doing a small garden.



Benefits from an organic garden


1. Save money! It is much cheapper to grow your own fruits and vegetable than it is to buy from the super market. No middle man and seeds can be as little as five cents.

2. Fresh fruit and vegetables. NO chemicals or prservatives.

3. Healthy. When you eat organic food. It helps ever cell in your body. From your hair to your toe nails.
