Every since I was a little girl my grandmother would take me to Virgina to my great-grandmothers farm. My graps (this is what I call my great-grandmother) had a 100 acres and she raised her own food. Her organic garden was about two acres. She never work for any one her whole life and she lived to be 88 years old.

One of the main things I remembered her teaching me was to always eat fresh fruits and vegetables. For which it is now called, organic food. Here are some of the benefits and what you need to do to start your own organic garden.

What you need to do before you begin your organic garden


1. You need to decide how big you want your garden to be.

2. Try not to make it no more than you can handle by yourself.

3. And this is very important!
You need to find the best place that has the most sunlight. The more sunlight the bigger and juicier your plants will be.

4. You need to find out if the soil you are going to grow your garden in is rich soil. If not then you will have to buy top soil to mix with your soil. You can always make a bed or buy sturdy 6 mil plastic - pre-punched drainage bag with holes.

This sometimes is easier, you just fill with grow media, plant your seeds and your garden is ready to go! Depending on how much space you are using depends on how many bags you will need.

5. Decide what is going to be in your garden. Tomatoes, onions, carrots, string beans and so on.
