Grow an organic garden. What's organic? Organic food is
grown without using any or most of the conventional
pesticides. Nor are any petroleum-based fertilizers,
bio-engineering, sewage sludge-based fertilizers, or ionizing
radiation used. You may not be able to keep pesticides out of
your garden all the time. Japanese beetles have been proven
difficult to eradicate in the U.S. You may need something
stronger than organics to get rid of them, but use it
sparingly. Growing an organic garden is not difficult. Natural
fertilizers and pesticides (usually herbal) can keep your food
free of chemicals, make you healthier (no chemicals in your
food), and help maintain a safer environment for everyone.
Organic produce isn't as "pretty" as other produce (you may
have noticed this in the market) but it will benefit you in the
long run.
Natural foods and organic foods are not the same. Organic
food is grown without chemicals, not all "natural" products
are. Don't depend on the FDA to keep your foods supply
safe. Take a proactive stance and grow your own organic,
chemical free garden this year.
