Weekly Garden Tip
A lot of people who are new to growing food first find themselves wondering where to start. Did you know that the moment a food is harvested it begins to lose nutrients?
Basically, that means that the majority of the people are eating half-dead food. The exponentially damaging result here is that we’re having to consume 2-6 times the same amount of food for the nutrition we could have by just growing our own. This is really taxing on the body because the digestive system has to work doubly hard. So, one of the best ways to start gardening is to pick the three foods you eat the most, and grow those first!
