Organic Vegetable Gardening for Beginners

How to start your own organic vegetable garden and home gardening techniques

Starting your own vegetable garden at home can be fun, rewarding, and healthy. Not to mention the money you’ll save by growing your own food so you can save at the grocery store.

This is a book for the complete novice. Want to start your own vegetable garden but you’ve never watered a plant in your life? Then this book is for you.

All you need is some sun, some soil, some seeds, and the knowledge you’ll learn in this book.

We begin the book by helping you answer the obvious question - what is it you’re going to plant? We discuss different options and how they relate to the climate, your particular geographical region, and the different patterns of yielding. For instance, some plants may yield edibles constantly throughout the season, while others are ready for harvest just once per year in the fall.

We all lead busy lives, and it’s easy to miscalculate what your plants need or to simply forget to care for them once in awhile, so each vegetable is ranked by how easy or hard it is to grow, based on the consistency and responsiveness they require.

Next, we show you how to choose the perfect spot for your garden and what size garden you should aim for. We want to optimize our gardens for maximum yield, and to minimize the risk of disease, weeds, and pests.

Once you’ve chosen the perfect spot, you want to create the best possible environment for your plants to grow. Here it’s important to discuss what makes a good soil and what makes a not-so-good soil.You want your soil to have the right characteristics to keep your crops happy and healthy.

Lastly, we’ll dig a little deeper and talk about the health benefits of eating from your own organic home garden. Why exactly do people think organic is better? Is it true? We’ll answer this question and back this up with scientific evidence.
