How to Grow Your Own Veggies - With the Minimum of Effort
My husband and I have a large garden and do grow our own vegetables, and I can testify to the joy of eating fresh organically grown vegetables, there is nothing to equal the taste of food grown and harvested from your own patch. Straight from the garden and into the pot and onto your plate - yum!!
But most people find gardening very hard work and I can testify to that - it is hard work if you do it the ordinary way, as my husband is doing. He is the one with the green fingers, I am the helper. I don't mind because there is joy in doing the garden and of necessity he must be the head and I the helper where needed. I also still have a small part-time job and am a chauffeur to my grand-daughter and her friend and take them dancing, so I don't spend as much time as I should in the garden.
My husband had a dream thirty five years ago about world-wide food shortages (and lately it looks as if it is coming true) and so he invested in the place where we are. We have a large garden of over an acre, but we are now in our seventies and running out of steam. We do need to look at various methods to make this place which we both love and enjoy easy to maintain,

Most of our garden is lawn, and only grow veggies in an area of 60 feet by 12 feet in what used to be a glasshouse but was blown down in a storm. The above photo is of the garden in autumn after the harvest. We certainly don't produce enough to be self-sufficient, but probably enough to eat from the garden six months of the year. The surplus we do freeze, but prefer to eat as much of the produce fresh, as freezing does alter the taste. Some vegetables we don't mind the frozen taste, but most of the vegetables that we grow we prefer to eat fresh. Of course potatoes can be stored in the garage in paper sacks, if you are careful and not let them be damaged by light and frost. There is nothing to equal the taste of picking a tomato off the vine, sun ripened and still warm and popping it straight into your mouth, or eating fresh raspberries or other soft fruits.
Recently we increased our fruit bushes and trees, in the hope of offsetting the expense of buying fruit at the super-market. Last year we had a marvellous year with the soft fruits, and they do freeze well, and we ate fresh tayberries, raspberries, mulberries, blueberries, grapes, and alpine strawberries from July to October, and then stewed fruit from October to April this year. When we pick them fresh we just add yoghurt and that makes a delightful dessert - when they are frozen we stew them with cooking apples and serve them with fresh yoghurt and enjoyed them throughout the winter.
We love trees and shrubs and have to be careful that we don't plant too many, in some ways the garden is like a mini park with all the trees. But three years past we decided to put in a wood burner stove in the sitting room, again to offset the rising fuel expense and also to become more environmentally friendly. So far we haven't bought any wood for the wood burner but used our own from the garden, but my husband is finding it increasingly hard to chop down trees and saw up logs for the winter and also do the garden. The garden so far has been very productive, the trees taken down were diseased and needed to come down and now we are allowing ash trees to grow wherever they pop up as they grow very quickly and can become a good supply of fuel for the wood burner stove.
I have recently read a review about Food4Wealth, because I have been researching how to make life a little easier for my husband and myself and still enjoy and continue to enjoy the garden as long as we are able.
The review stated that Food$Wealth is a very practical guide which teaches you all you need to know on how to grow vegetables and organic food with the minimum of fuss and effort. He gives a fully illustrated step-by-step manual and over 60 minutes of video, as well.
We haven't found growing vegetables easy, but my husband has been following the tried and traditional methods. This man claims that if you grow vegetables ecologically, you will be able to grow them more efficiently, without the problems that traditional methods bring. Why not take this experts years of experience and advice and implement it exactly the way he shows you in the instruction. My understanding is that you don't even need a large garden to do this, he will show you how to make the best use of the space you have.
