I visited a neighborhood garden earlier and I was fascinated by the dedication of the people that built the amenity and planted the vegetables that are in this garden. Surrounding a small garden plot are high-rise apartment buildings that showcase that with genuine interest in growing your own food and hard work, a challenging undertaking can be achieved.
If we are to compare the cost of vegetables that are being sold in the grocery stores located in the city and the vegetable market in the village or a province area, the difference in the cost is evident. The cost of transporting the vegetables from the farms to the grocery stores will have an impact on the price of the goods. One of the reasons for that is the transportation cost of vegetables has to be considered to the price of the produce. Another factor to be added to the price is the cost of wastage that will happen while the produce is being transported from the farm to the grocery stores as well.
In many cases, the overhead cost is higher than the cost of the products themselves. Because of those factors, it has become known to the city dwellers that the only way to get rid of those costs is to grow your vegetables. Thanks to technology and farming knowledge, the urban gardening movement has been implemented to lessen the need to import more vegetables to the city.
This design of planting vegetables utilizes a series of PVC pipes, loose materials, and a continuously recirculating flow of water. This design effectively distributes nourishment and water to the vegetables while maximizing the space for planting vegetables.
I think that it's a genius idea that was implemented beautifully using simple construction materials.
The other designs of the garden plots utilize a typical style of raised planter boxes which are perfectly elevated so that they fit the ergonomic requirements of a person caring for the garden. It will be convenient for the gardener and thus improve the efficiency of the work as well.
In just a few weeks, these garden plots are already showing promising results. I believe this initiative will truly impact our neighborhood by inspiring neighbors to embrace the benefits of growing their own vegetables. Not only are they healthier, free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, but they also offer peace of mind with every delicious bite. It's not just about food; it's about fostering a healthier lifestyle that benefits us all.
