How to build your own garden. An introduction from Gardening with Less Pain
Gardening is becoming a necessary revolution in our world.
With over seven billion mouths to be fed, farmers are pushing their soil so
hard; the mineral content is not passing through to our food. Genetically
Modified plants (GMO’s) are being used to keep up with this demand, without any
real understanding of what these changes to our food will do to our overall
health.
The only answer is to be able to produce as much of our own
controlled food as possible. The reality is we do not have the time, and often
the strength, to go back to farming. Painless Gardening is a simple guide to
help provide ways to full fill our need to garden with simple solutions.
The internet and book shelves are filling up with books claiming
to be easy gardening. Those of us who actually do garden know this is a lie. A
garden is work, and if you are looking for the McDonalds instant gratification
version, you are going to fail. You have to psychologically prepare yourself to
be patient and dedicated to this change in your lifestyle.
The reward goes far deeper than better tasting food. I have
never met an obese gardener. And walking into hundreds of gardens, I have never
met a single person tending a garden be depressed and down spirited. There is
something essential to our souls when we become a part of process of the earth
producing the food we consume.
Actual joy and satisfaction of a job well done, radiates
from successful gardeners. On the other hand I have seen frustration and serious
physical pain from people who do not have the garden set up in a way that best
suits their needs. There are ways to garden with less pain. As with any
project, as much time should be spent in planning as the actual work. Build on
the right foundation and you will be rewarded.
