This is not a solution for everyone, but a lot of people who can help make such a thing and be able to save money on grocery bills for the rest of their lives, the environment and never afraid not with the food on the table. This solution is not new. In fact, it has been for thousands of years, gardening, growing your own food and canning industry, therefore, drying or freezing, or fresh vegetables all year by a gardenGreenhouse>.
Before and during World War II, over 40% of Americans had home gardens of all types, in fact, the White House had a huge Victory Garden, which was plowed under, and filled after the war, we started to great producers and distributors for our food supply today, and we rely not only the largest exporter of agricultural products, but quickly became a net importer, that is, importing and exporting almost as much as us. Contaminated food, we heardrecent years, particularly from these foreign imports.
We are talking about sending our money overseas to purchase energy, no one seems too care of all the food imports. The FDA declined by 8% for tests of this type of food up to 1%. We need gas go from place to place, but we need food and water to live. If not based on what we sold at the supermarket then the only other thing we can do is grow our food aspossible.
Today it is estimated that less than 10% of the population of home gardens and most of these people tend to be 50 years of age and older. In my family with two adults now spend about $ 1.00 a week to produce beyond what they grow, especially beneficial. I think the lettuce and spinach growing almost as long as you eat a lot of this type of production. I currently have red peppers, yellow peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, cabbage and melon, which produce one orpreparation for the production and broccoli, which is a bit 'farther. There are tomatoes that are still in production and in late autumn in a greenhouse and a cold frame. There are the herbs are grown in any garden in pots for winter dry.
I looked at the statistics for the average production cost per household to compare my expenses, but could not find an actual amount. I then went to several sites that have published their foodto produce income and the cost on average $ 18.50 per week. This means that only produce the average size of the family spends about $ 962.00 to produce each year. Take what you spend $ 52.00 and $ 910.00 for the year difference.
Growing your own food does not save the entire $ 910.00, because there are costs in growing their own food, which included costs of seed, the cost of container, the cost of a greenhouse or cold frame if you go back and ground when necessary. My mediaannual cost at this point is less than $ 50.00 per year. You can pay a couple of years and for the greenhouse or cold frame or in the first year of preparation for a garden. Calculate and make sure it's there for you and your family.
The costs go even further, its when you learn to prepare the seeds for a year, planted the next. The seeds are expensive, but I have not bought too many. I also have a number of volunteer tomato plants (plants that come up wilddecreased from tomatoes from previous years), who come every year that I consider as weeds and planting on other people.
Gardening and growing your own food is no different to do everything what you put into it is what you get out. This includes the time it seems a big problem in America to be. However, each time for what they deem important. When saving money on food bills, knowing that you can always grow food for the familyand as always self-sufficient as possible is important to you, then it's time for you to consider investing in a garden or a greenhouse to get around. Just decide and do it.
