Savvy Vegetarian Blognews and opinion on vegetarian diet and nutrition, vegetarian lifestyle, green living, and environmentSend comments to SV BlogTue, 09 May 2006Home, Home In The Organic Garden, Where The Worms Roam and It Rains Just EnoughIt's spring and gardening fever has me in it's grip. I come from a long line of organic gardening women, and my organic garden is modest but vital to my mental and physical health. I highly recommend gardening. For flavor, nutrition, satisfaction, plus cheap and effective therapy, there's nothing like picking and eating something organic that you grew yourself. If you possibly can, in any way, find a place to grow something, get out there and garden. It's amazing to think of, but until less than a hundred years ago, all food was grown organically, throughout all of human history. Before everyone moved to apartments in the city, and industrial agriculture was just a dream in the minds of the railroad barons and mining conglomerates, most everyone had a garden of some kind. Especially women. Men worked, women raised children, kept house, and gardened. If you wanted your family to eat well, you grew food. It was far from ideal - women got a raw deal in so many ways. But there was a lot of organic gardening going on. Now, women don't have to garden, and men get to garden too. As a place to learn about organic gardening, and for ongoing gardening support, I recommend Home of Organic Gardening and Compost Gardening. The Organic Gardener's knowledge is unsurpassed, and this website is a complete, indispensible resource. If you're new to organic gardening, it will inspire and guide you. Learn all about composting, cover crops and green manure, soil, weed control, watering, seed saving, worm bins, gardening tools and how to use them. Etc, etc. For more organic gardening resources, and more general info about organic food, visit SV's Organic Resource Guide, or read SV Articles about organic food and agriculture.
