Really enjoyed reading this post. I’ve been growing organically for the last 10 years or so…it’s definitely the way to go. There’s nothing like the joy of taking the palnts that I have started in my greenhouse during the winter and planting them outside come spring!

If you don’t have enough space in your backyard, you can also try Organic Container Gardening. You can use any organic containers you can find in your house: ceramic jars, clay or terra cotta pots, tin cans, etc. The thing to consider is they should be able to hold soil and drain water. The best thing about organic container gardening is you can put them anywhere inside the house. And this form of gardening is best if you want to grow herbs. Imagine how lovely it would be if the herbs that you need for cooking are within reach (literally, in your kitchen.) But each herb/plant has a particular need. So make sure you attend to their needs everyday. Like if they need sun, you put them out a few hours in a day to have their daily ’sun’ intake. I agree with what you said, growing a garden can be easy. You just need commitment. There are lots of information out there to help you.

[...] Another way to slash your grocery bill is opting for a meat-free diet a few times a week (or more). We’ve told you how adopting vegetarianism into your diet is beneficial for the environment, but it saves a lot of cash, too. Vegan proteins, like tofu, tempeh, and beans are all significantly cheaper than meats, dairy, and processed foods. Taking the time to tend a garden, too, will drastically reduce the food bill [read how to get started]. [...]
