is a hands-on way to lower your foodprint; now

what is foodprint, Your “foodprint” is the result of everything it takes to
get your food from the farm to your plate. When you are growing your
own food you are in control of every step of the growing process — from
seed selection and soil and pest management all the way to harvesting and
composting. Plus a garden can provide a relaxing way to connect with
nature and work with your hands.

of space, sun and great soil for that, right? But gardening can be anything
from a windowsill herb garden to a few pots of cherry tomato plants on a
small patio or ledge. The rewards of daily plant care – watering, weeding,
harvesting – are fresh, home-grown foods that really can’t be beat.

In order to do gardening right, you just need a plan. So take some time to
map out your plan, and soon, you’ll be swimming in veggies — or have an
apartment full of herbs — whatever works best for you.
