Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Growing your own food is a hot topic today because of the high cost of transporting food long distances, the heightened problem of diseases caused by commercially grown foods, concerns about the overuse of chemicals in mass food production, and the uncertain health effects of GMOs.

Many people have recently discovered the benefits of homegrown vegetables and fruits. Community gardens, and even community canning centres, are increasingly popular and have turned roof-top gardening into a great and healthy food source. On a smaller scale, some plants can even be grown in containers for the smallest backyard or patio. The possibilities for growing your own food are endless!

The Grow Your Own Food Handbook informs you how to grow all types of vegetables, fruits, and even grains on your own land or in any small space available to you and your family.
