What if I told you we would have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of vitamin C our grandparents received from just one orange? Fruit and vegetables are picked when slightly unripe, sprayed with chemicals, waxed, boxed, stacked on pallets and kept in a cold store for up to 12 months. So when you think you're eating healthily and buying 'fresh' food, you are possibly buying fruit that was picked over a year ago. The longer produce is in storage the more its nutritional value deteriorates. Comparing the nutritional data of produce over the last 50 years shows a reliable decline in the amount of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamins and other micronutrients. Additionally, overseas shipping causes air pollution, affecting the health of humans, animals, and the environment. The recent pandemic showed us that in uncertain times, grocery stores may not have everything your family needs. But what if there was a way to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables right from your own backyard garden and lessen your dependence on corporations? And what if it was surprisingly achievable? The ability to use the Earth's natural resources is indispensable. In The Self-Sufficient Garden, you'll learn: - The process of planning a garden even if you don't live in an ideal climate, don't have enough space or have no money to spare - Different types of gardening, and their pros and cons, so you can determine what fits your lifestyle and needs - The importance of soil science and why healthier soil creates healthier people - The little-known basics of gardening, how to maximize your yields, extend your growing season and set up an irrigation system to benefit your garden and save you time - Organic pest control techniques to keep your plants safe and grow healthier crops - How to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs and trees and the process of crop rotation and remineralization to further help the environment - How to start your own seeds, conserve natural resources and make your own compost - all things that reduce your carbon footprint. Plus much more. Even if you've never made your hands dirty, don't know how to hold a trowel or only have a balcony or a patio, you can still create an abundant garden and make a difference. You can grow your own food and start your self-sufficiency journey today!
