Through this blog I want to emphasize the idea of doing Gardening Organically. Most of the people though out the world choose to Garden to control the type of food they eat without the fear of chemical or preservatives, to minimize themselves and their loved ones from the hazards of commercially grown vegetables. The side effects of chemical pesticides can take its toll on human body.
Everyday we are using lots of chemicals in the form of soap, shampoo, toothpaste, many foods and even in clothing which are manufactured by the use of chemicals. But we are concentrating on gardening and use of those chemicals on our foods. The most common ways by which the chemicals are introduced to our food is by use of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides.
The use of chemical fertilizers can be very tempting as these are quick acting short term plant boosters and you can see the growth of plants after putting the fertilizers within few days. But in the long race these do more bad than good.
1. It deteriorates soil fertility and soil life(which includes earthworm, the ever known friend of farmers).
2. Preventing plants from getting very essential trace elements make them vulnerable to
diseases.
diseases.
3. Many artificial chemical fertilizer contains Acids, such as Sulfuric or Hydrochloric, which increases the pH of the soil. By killing earthworm it also reduced the natural aeration of the soil.
4. When plants are supplied with much nitrogen(which is abundant in chemical fertilizers) and medium amount of phosphate it can easily contact mosaic infections.
If you think about it, Organic Gardening is a very simple story. For years people have been growing foods without the use of chemicals. It would only make sense to use the same techniques and the get the same results. Organic gardening not only benefits us or our family rather it also helps in maintaining the equilibrium of the ecology and environment which have been severely hampered by the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
1. Among the many advantages of growing food organically, first and foremost is the food produced using Organic Gardening is more nourishing and beneficial to health. Vitamin C and dry matter contents are far more higher in organically grown crops than in its non organic siblings.
2. Mineral contents are far better in Organic crops than in non organic ones.
3. Substantially higher amount of Antioxidants and health promoting compounds are present in Organically grown crops than their counter part which have been cultured with the help of pesticides. Antioxidants can greatly reduce the risk of Cancer.
4. You can save money not only by growing your own food but also can make some extra cash by selling your “all organically grown food” which are so popular in grocery stores these days.
In case you want to start your own Organic Gardening but due to some time constrain not been able to, you might want to check this site.
If you have any other points to add or disagree with me in any point please feel free to comment.
