Food4Wealth

By Franka Boyle


The economy is recovering from its recent fall due to the financial crisis. Employment rates are also increasing. Nonetheless, it cannot be denied that many people are still left wishing for their ability to be self-sufficient. Growing concerns over the increasing cost of basic commodities like food is the foremost agenda of any discussion today, as food is something that you cannot live without, because nutrition is imperatively and consistently, needed by the human body to function normally.

While most of the world is going to think that you've gone crazy, spending time in your garden, planning your garden and harvesting food from your own garden adds joy to your life. You grew that food. You nourished that food with compost you created yourself. You planned every aspect of your organic garden and as time passes your garden becomes more healthy and self-sufficient. You did it all with your own two little hands, a little knowledge and a desire to grow healthy food for yourself and your family.

Even though most people might say that you could easily buy the same vegetables from the grocery store, the truth is that these aren't the same vegetables that you grow. In addition to the fact that you have a wide choice of different vegetables to grow that you won't find in your grocery store, your vegetables haven't been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers. With different strains of heirloom seeds and plants available to you online, you have the opportunity to try your hand at growing things that you probably didn't even know existed.

As you already know organic growing means chemical-free produce, which is great. However organic vegetable gardens are still quite labor intensive. The biggest advantage organic has over conventional is the lack of pesticides, but you still have to do pest control.

Knowing that you are not dependent upon a supermarket for the majority of your food gives you a feeling of satisfaction. Eating a meal during the winter that consists of food that you grew during the summer can't be matched. Feeling self-sufficient is a desire that many of us instictively have as part of who we are even if it's something that we don't express often or think about every day. Even a taste of being just a little bit self-sufficient gives us a good feeling.

Food4Wealth is noteworthy in the sense that it introduces new concepts about gardening, and to a certain extent, even in conflict with traditional methods that have been prevalent for years in the field of gardening.

For instance, this book suggests the gardener, not to cultivate the soil, leave it alone and let nature take its course, which is totally in contrast to the prevalent practices of thorough cultivation prior sowing of seeds. Managing pests, which is another crucial issue in every garden, is also addressed upon, by this e-book.

As it grows and flourishes, so do you. Organic gardening is an addiction and a madness that we embrace once it gets in our blood and our life that makes us whole.
