Nowadays, it’s really hard to control the quality of the ingredients of the food that you and your family eat. That is unless you decide to take the matter into your own hands and start growing some of it. Many people don’t know how easy it is, given some simple tips, to grow tasty, healthy ingredients for your dishes. And you don’t even have to have a large garden, because even a few clay pots can yield tasty, and healthy crops. Living in a small apartment isn’t an obstacle. Turn a small corner of your home into a green oasis and reap the healthy benefits!

You can begin small-scale. Spices and herbs like parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, and chives are easy to grow even in the smallest of pots, but since different plants have different water needs be sure to put only the similar ones in the same pot. For example oregano, chives and basil are a great combination, as well as stevia, lemon balm, and lemon mint. Potted plants can be a problem if you need to move, but you can take a look at movon.com for solutions. But, plant them, give them enough sun and water, and after some time, you will have some of the best herbs you’ve ever tasted!

There are more and more people becoming aware of benefits of the organic gardening at home. That evergrowing community of green fingers is a great resource of information if you are preparing to embark on the adventure of organic gardening. Remember, the most important thing is to be well informed about the needs of the plants you intend to grow. Keep that in mind, and your dream garden might be but a step away!

Fruits And Vegetables

Growing herbs is handy, but making the freshest salad ever, or biting into the sweetest, healthiest piece of fruit is even better! It might sound intimidating, but growing organic vegetables and fruit in your home takes just a bit more space than growing simple herbs. Use a portion of your backyard or terrace, or simply find a sunny corner in your apartment, get a few well-drained containers and some soil bags and you’ve got yourself a garden! It’s easy to grow tomatoes, radishes, strawberries or even some varieties of fruit trees!

Dwarf trees are created by grafting which is merging several trees to create a living, fruit-bearing tree, much smaller than it’s full-size counterpart. It’s important to know that the grafting process doesn’t include genetic modification, it’s a simple horticultural technique. If you pick a few, you could be growing your own cherries, pears or apples in no time!

Of course, there are some gardening must-have plants and tools that you should add to your shopping list before you start your own organic garden. Various size shovels and rakes and a watering can are a good beginning. Still, what’s most important is to obtain high-quality organic soil and organic fertilizers that are the food for your plants. Their quality might directly influence the quality of your crops. And the final and the most important thing is seedling material. Superior seed results in superior plants. Remember, always choose the material that is suitable for chem-free growing. Combine that together and you will have fantastic organic plants!
