Do you find it a must to wash your veggies properly before eating them?

Are pesticides in fruits and vegetables a constant thing on your mind while walking through the supermarket aisles?

Do you spend time checking the labels before buying your greens to ensure you are making healthy choices?

The problem is, labels are just labels at the end of the day.

After consumer surveys revealed that the perception of healthfulness is a key driver of food choices, the food industry started doing everything to deliberately mislead customers with confusing labels.

Have you ever fallen for catchwords such as "whole grain", "organic", "natural" and "no cholesterol"? But what's really inside?

Fact is, you've been fooled more than once and there is only one way to avoid consuming the poisonous cocktail of pesticides in supermarket crops: Backyard Gardening.

Imagine growing your favorite vegetables just a few meters away from your house, ready to be picked whenever you want.

While the thought of it alone might be absurd, or almost close to being impossible, you will be surprised what a few months can do, to make it happen.

In Backyard Gardening, you will discover:

• The principles of organic farming, and how to reap the best results
• How you can let your garden work for you, instead of the other way around
• Ways for how you can create healthier fertilizers, without spending a single cent
• Which particular insect you should never kill and how it can actually strengthen your crop
• Why plants and humans are more alike than you think and how this one insight prevents your plants from dying
• How this one simple trick will cut your expenses in half and save you more than 7 hours of work per week
• A step-by-step guide on how you can effectively create healthier soil for your crops to thrive
• The tried-and-tested methods of managing pests without having to succumb to commonly used pesticides

And much more.

How many times have you told yourself that you want to start your own organic garden, but then thought you don't have the time or space for it?

Don't worry. Even if you are living in a 25m2 student apartment with a 4m2 balcony, it is easy to grow fruits and vegetables to suit outdoor areas of any size.

Take the example of a tomato plant. A time investment of 6 minutes per week over 12 weeks is enough to grow, raise, and harvest produce from your own plant

Don't leave any stone unturned to make sure your kids and your family eat healthy, fresh foods every single day just because you are afraid of learning a new craft.
