115 - Organic Gardening for Everyone with CaliKim

Is it possible that organic gardening can actually be an option for everyone? We all know the high prices of organic food at the grocery store. But what if you could grow your own organic vegetables where you live? A common misconception is that you have to have a lot of land to grow a garden. But that's just not true! CaliKim has been growing her own organic fruits and vegetables in a small California backyard for years. And she has become so passionate about making sure others know how doable this is -- as you might have seen in her YouTube channel -- that she has written a book to equip new gardeners in this fun and exciting venture of home organic gardening. Kim's new book, Organic Gardening for Everyone, walks you through every step to preparing, planting, and harvesting your garden. She focuses on the big picture of why you would want to grow you own food and what it can mean for your family and your community. In this episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast, Kim answers some of your common questions about organic gardening and gardening in a small space.
