Here is how you can avoid drinking the toxic pesticide cocktail supermarkets are serving you.

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”? 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 yards 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 seven 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

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Lots of Helpful Information

I think I want to listen to this again. Next time I’ll be prepared to take notes! Great book!

I’ll be putting it to use next spring

I’ve planted gardens in the past, but I’ve always had trouble with pests. I figured this one would have a section on such a thing, so I paid special attention to that part. I like how the author provided several strategies for warding off pests, including aerating and watering your soil properly and removing weeds and debris regularly. I’m hoping my gardening efforts will be more successful next year after listening to this one. Give it a listen if you’re in the same camp!
