Making safe food in your back yard
Hopefully you will have a time in your not too distant future when the country's finances will be sorted out and people, the foot soldiers inside war against the asking for mess we've been landed with, will be able to afford to eat nutritious, wholesome food again.
However, there is one manner in which we can control both the cost and the products the food we give our families you eat.
Grow our personal!
Hundreds of people have been trying to get allotments or are considering turning their ornamental bloom beds into vegetable plots.
Sounds superior, doesn't it? Solve both problems in one go! Quality food at a very reasonable price.
Well, what are the side effects? (Don't worry. I think I've seen the answers below!)
(1) When you've been leading a, shall we say, slightly less active way of life, all the digging and carrying involved in 'growing your own' require getting used to. It's far better work yourself in little by little!
(5) Finally, there's the problem of the weather. Can you grow your food all year round to ensure quality together with savings? The answer is actually 'Yes, you can! '
Growing your own food are often very, very rewarding.
The truth is, if you go about it the right way, you could even produce a reasonable living out of it as well as keeping your family members healthy! You see, not only are people crying out for reasonably priced, good quality food, but you could also be harvesting seeds that can be sold. You could get growing the tastiest, fattest tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, celery, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers and more!
No hesitation you think it's a good idea to grow your own foodstuff, but when it pertains to actually doing it you will be put off by the down sides outlined above. Am I correct?
Well while I was looking to sort out my own personal food growing efforts, I stumbled on what looks like it's the perfect answer.

Many people are discouraged from growing their own food because skin color time and effort it takes to grow a backyard garden. And most people don't have a plot of fertile stretch of land available. For most, doing work the soil, fertilizing, pulling weeds and the many work just doesn't squeeze into their busy lives. But there is a way to grow food that eliminates all of this.
Aquaponics is a way of growing food that is starting to catch on by many commercial growers, and people who want to grow their own food. This method is rapidly growing in popularity because it is simple, takes very little time and energy, and can produce a lot of food in a very small space. It also costs very little money to arrange and maintain.
Aquaponics is similar to hydroponics (growing factories in water without soil), but it combines aquaculture (growing fish) to create a complete biological process. The plants get their nutrients from the fish wastes, and in return the plants clean the pool for the fish. With this system it is not necessary to add fertilizer or filtration. The plants maintain the fish, while the fish care for the plants. Fertilizer for Food
