Thank you so much for sharing your story, and the link. Good luck in your efforts to grown all your own food – that is so ambitious, and challenging, I’m sure.

It is a really helpful information about organic foods. I live in a village which is a small and and isolated place.
We are 120 km far from the nearest city and as a result we produce our own food. While doing that we use extreme caution
of our food to be organic so every information about organic is very important for me, thanks to the authors here.I also
found another useful guide for organic food and also so many other things about agriculturing, i recommend this
site to everyone who wants to learn useful informations.

Your tips are fantastic. I'll be sure to share your work with my readers! Best, Kairol blog http://everythingchangesbook.com/

Oh yay! I am so thrilled to have found your blog! I am a mom who is on a green mission and I have been really trying to do lots of the things you mention here to afford this lifestyle! I appreciate these wonderfulk reminders though 🙂 Our son has had severe food intolerances and Eczema since he was a baby and we have really learned how important it is to consume healthy foods and eliminate junk processed stuff. Fortunately, he has really been helped with his Vidazorb probiotics…answer to prayer…but we have now began a new journey from what we have learned through all of this. smilinggreenmom (tweet me!)

Hi Diana,
What a brilliant blog post – as an advocate of both organic food AND reducing landfill waste, you make some excellent points about viewing leftovers as ingredients. This is something I feel passionately about.
Just this week I found a sprouting onion, some wilting broccoli and some cheese that had gone hard around the edges. Half an hour later, we were eating delicious soup that my husband was convinced was one of those ‘posh expensive soups’
Those kind of spontaneous cooking sessions are great for flexing the creativity muscle and often bring forth wonderful new recipes.
I wrote about reducing food waste on our site, and it’s been a very popular topic. I hope it will be of interest to some of your readers too. Most of the ideas are similar to yours (great minds 😉 ) but there are a couple of extras such as not shopping when you’re hungry (hands up everyone who is guilty of that LOL!):

keep up the great work; I’m loving your down to earth writing 🙂
All respect,
Mrs Green

This is absolutely true. Eliminate food waste and use the money to go organic. Brilliant idea!
