Backyard Fruit and Vegetable Garden

HLBOD

Eating fruits and vegetables exclusively from your own backyard greatly helps the environment in many ways. You can control how you grow these plants, meaning they can be a potential receptacle for compost, as well as having control over what pesticides are used, if any. Eating from your own backyard also prevents C02 emissions from transport vehicles, including your own. Eating self grown plants helps by reducing vehicle emission, pesticides, and waste disposal emissions.
