In order to be green or save some green,
many people are starting to grow their own.

It's not news that prices for food, fuel and other resources have risen dramatically in the last few years. It also seems as if another contaminated product is being pulled from the grocery shelves each season.

These trends have raised concerns about our food system, which relies heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, mass production, and fuel-intensive transportation. People are thinking more about how this system affects our health, energy dependence, and the environment.

As a way to take control of what they eat, increasing numbers of people have chosen to grow some of their own food. If this is something that you've considered doing, but you're short on time and know-how, then The Backyard Harvester can help you grow good food at home.
