Gardening patterns tend to come and go but organic vegetable gardening has actually brought in increasing interest over current times. With the long term sustainability of our world a shared concern of many, it looks like this pattern is here to stay!

Even our heads of state are joining this motion. Michelle Obama's promotion of organic vegetable gardening started right after she moved into the White House. The Queen of England has a new garden called 'The Yard Bed'. This is the first vegetable garden to change the royal 'Dig For Success' garden planted during the second world war.

There are 2 main benefits of organic vegetable gardening and these are acquiring appeal all over the world. Initially, you can save money when you grow your own veggies. Second, you can minimize your carbon footprint -the quantity of co2 you produce either straight or indirectly.

Saving money is possible by growing organic vegetables in spite of the setup costs of tools, devices, fertilizers and water. The very best way to counterbalance the expenses of developing a garden is to maximize the yield of your garden. To do this, only grow veggies you enjoy and will eat. Select those that you can easily freeze or can like tomatoes, beets and sweet corn or cucumbers. These can be consumed past their growing season and reduce your grocery costs at the same time. Other veggies like potatoes and squash can be saved without cooking.

Melons and tomatoes are pricey vegetables. They are also popular and regularly bought at the supermarket. Grow large numbers of these vegetables along with relatively expensive broccoli, beans, beets, spinach and onions, and lettuces to lower your food expenses.

Grow veggies year-round. In many districts, veggies can be grown and collected to keep your household in veggies practically all year. With some experience and some preplanning you can even grow more than one crop across each season in the exact same place.

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint is a similarly important factor for the popularity of the organic vegetable gardening movement.

Growing an organic vegetable garden makes a continuous contribution to sustaining our planet. Vegetable gardens do not add co2 to the environment. They don't need trimming with electrical or petrol lawn mowers as lawns do. Growing veggies also minimizes your 'food miles', (the range food travels to reach your supermarket).

By composting plant material in your garden you are not only producing organic fertilizer that will add nutrients to your vegetables, you are also avoiding the production of carbon dioxide and methane that happens when raw material ends up in garbage dumps.

As water is anticipated to be the next 'Gold', use this valuable resource in your garden with thought and care. Gather rainwater for irrigation and or use greywater from your house. My grandpa did the latter in a desert area for many years and offered his own family and most of the neighborhood with veggies year-round.

The First Lady and the Queen of England have less need to save money than the majority of but their efforts to promote the benefits of organic vegetable gardening can be applauded. Consider starting your own organic garden so that you can enjoy a less expensive grocery costs and make your own contribution to a more sustainable earth.  See more info here
