Sow a seed .Plant a TREE: You can help the environment by planting fruit trees and vegetables instead of the lawn grass!You can help the economy by producing food and not just consuming it.We can teach you how. what is required to start an organic garden in the TROPICS of S.Florida ,in a NUT SHELL? 1-Awareness of how to grow your own from an EXPERIENCED and EDUCATED local urban farmer who is active in DOING ,not just TALKING about it. Books confuse you because they are written for general purpose and different -mostly colder northern climates/agri-zones. .Make sure that you get help from a certified gardener /urban farmer who got horticultural education from a local horticultural entity.!S.Florida falls in the sub -Tropical L region.So it makes a difference to learn it the Tropical way! 2-Adjusting /apply gardening procedures to the way of the tropics. Look for what grows best and not what you like and want. 3-Practice patience.patience.patience.it takes time!Gardening is a process.Learn /apply /maintain /harvest/compost . 4- Let there be a starting date,a plan, and a BUDGET to get you started .You learn as you go and grow.Gardening is a PROCESS.It takes time and efforts. 5-Join a community garden in your area. Learn the process first and then apply it to your own backyard. Start small .We recommend container gardening as a starter. A word to the wise: From my own personal experience:I noticed that people have a wish to start a garden and it takes them years to do it.A lot of people procrastinate while the growing season passes them by! They fail to find a local professional help to learn the gardening process. They rush to buy stuff from the garden center and expect that this will be it. They think that learning the theory via cyberspace or books is enough. They miss the hands on point! They miss the actual experience right in the outdoor garden! They buy gardening books that were written to accommodate colder regions. They are confused ,angry and still want to get the garden started right now!So,they go shopping for the convenient ready plants, bagged soil, fertilizers ,pesticides, seeds etc...And the bill: you will be amazed!!!!Soooooooo expensive to buy it ready made! You save a lot if you do it on your own. I can help you if you decided to be a part of the process.Remember that there are Nematodes and Aphids that attack your garden from below and above(soil and air). A garden requires maintenance and follow up care. We need to work on ourselves first before we start digging.Tropical Gardening Awareness ,expectations,experience,budget,practice,maintenance, available time etc.. are of the essence ..
