Grow Tasty Organic Fruit
Growing your own organic fruit will be better for your health, save you money, and provide tasty, sweet desserts. And you can easily grow great tasting, healthy, organic fruit in your own backyard.
1. Organic Fruit Trees
Even the smallest garden can accommodate an organic fruit tree. The tree can be a lovely addition to your property, sharing its blossoms in spring and enriching the soil around it. Apple and cherry are good organic fruit trees. Apricots are a wonderful organic fruit if your climate is right for them.
2. Organic Fruit in the Garden
If organic fruit trees seem too big for your area, you can still grow organic fruit in the garden. Strawberries from an organic nursery can be raised free of chemicals and pesticides. Melons such as cantaloupes, honeydew, and watermelon can also grow in your organic fruit garden. Huckleberries, raspberries, or blackberries can border your organic fruit garden.
3. Organic Fruit on the Deck or Patio
If you simply do not have space for a garden, you can grow organic fruit in patio boxes, or EarthBox containers. Strawberries and melons do very well in EarthBoxes. You are able to easily care for your organic fruit this way, since it is close to your door, and maintenance is simple.
Organic Fruit has no wax coating. It has no chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The taste is pure and natural - and healthful! Want more benefits? Consider these:
* Organic fruit seems to be higher in vitamin C, according to an 87-page report prepared for The Soil Association of the United Kingdom.
* Organic fruit has 10 times MORE mineral content than commercially grown fruit according to a study commissioned by the Organic Retailers and Growers Association of Australia.
* Organically grown apples have higher quality health and taste factors than commercially grown apples. They scored higher on taste score, sugar-acidity-firmness index, and nutritional fiber content in a comparative study by researchers at the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) in Switzerland.
If you grow tasty, organic fruit, you will save money and have better nutrition.
