Ever wondered how your food was grown? Have you asked yourself what they put on those veggies to make them last longer on the grocery shelf? Are they safe? We have a million different questions when it comes to the food we put into our mouths. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why not grow your own vegetables yourself? Being able to grow your own fresh greens and fruits will take some hard work and love. But when harvest time comes, you are sure to have a healthy, fresh feast for you and your family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some compelling reasons to start your small organic garden right in your backyard:<\/span><\/p>\n

Start Out Small<\/b><\/h3>\n

Unlike commercial farming where you need acres of land to produce crops, you can start with a small \nvegetable patch at home<\/a>. You can give it a try, first with some tomatoes and herbs and see how that goes. <\/span><\/p>\n

If it works well and you get the hang of it, you can then expand your little vegetable farm by adding a few more vegetables. If it turns out bad and you just can\u2019t grow a single crop, you can just cover up the plot with lawn grass or some ornamental plants and move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n>>Begin Small, Look For Funding Here.>><\/a><\/p>\n

Stop Worrying About Food Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n

Since it\u2019s your garden and you are the farmer, you are the boss! You can research on what kind of fertilizers you put into your crops. You can decide on different kinds of fertilizers, from natural composts to chemicals, and see what they may contain.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, composts made from green wastes are more organic and healthy. And because this compost can be made at home, you do not need to spend some cash for chemical fertilizers. You are in control of how you want to grow your vegetables, this way you know what\u2019s in them.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not Only Good for the Tummy, It\u2019s Also Good for Your Body and Soul<\/b><\/h3>\n

Growing your own food ensures that what you eat is safe and healthy. But, you will be amazed by how gardening can improve your physical and mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gardening entails physical activity. It can be a form of daily exercise to keep you active. Growing your plants outdoors also helps you get that much-needed vitamin D. \u00a0A <\/span>\npsychological research<\/span><\/a> has also found out that gardening can improve your mental health by promoting healing, overcoming anxiety, and lifting the mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

There Are Many Ways to Help you Finance your Hobby Farm<\/b><\/h2>\n

True enough, you need a little money to start on your little farm patch. You need it to buy seeds, tools, and many others. Luckily, there are financing loans which are available to assist you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The USDA\u2019s Microloan Program allows non-traditional farmers to have access to financing. The maximum amount you can borrow is $50,000 and there is no minimum borrowing amount. It can be used by organic farmers, those in niche farming, and those are into urban gardening.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many amazing advantages in urban gardening, these are just some. But to reap the rewards, you need to put your 100 percent in it and love it. And in all things you do, urban gardening included, always make sure you are having fun.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
