The medicinal advantages of healthy food cannot be understated. A well-balanced diet that includes unprocessed fresh foods, variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, and very small amounts of fish & animal foods can help support overall health and prevent a number of chronic diseases. The key to success is avoiding sugar, unhealthy oils made from seeds and processed foods. Some people avoid all animal foods like fish, meat, dairy, eggs and alcoholic drinks. Your body will thank you for choosing healthy food and lifestyle.
Growing vertically in a food garden offers several advantages, including increased yields, efficient use of space, improved air circulation, and easier maintenance. A trellis can also shade cool season veggies from summer heat. The trellis designs below offer different options for supporting a wide range of climbing vegetables. Construct your own trellis or buy them ready-made.
Converting a lawn to a native plant garden using cardboard to cover and kill the grass is an environmentally friendly and low-maintenance method. This process is called sheet mulching or lasagna gardening, and it involves layering materials to suppress grass and weeds, improve soil quality, and support the growth of native plants.
