Why organic gardening matters
Gardening and growing offers great benefits for us all – benefits for the environment, for people’s health and wellbeing, for food security and for building stronger communities. Our outdoor growing space, be it the private garden, community garden, allotment, school garden, or just a small space nearby, is a place where we relax and recharge both spiritually and physically. It is also a place where we can learn and reconnect with nature and the food we eat and where we can take practical action to adopt sustainable lifestyles. Using the organic approach to gardening and growing, which Garden Organic has been promoting for over 50 years, will ensure that these benefits can be achieved and enjoyed to their full potential. ## Key features - Organic gardening tips - Composting and wildlife advice - A-Z vegetable growing guide - Planting and harvesting details - Nutritional content information - Gardening calendar ## Recent user reviews (10 of 11) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/growing-organic-vegetables/id591810446/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Expensive + little info *2020-04-19, version 3.0.1* Save your money and buy a pack of seeds, there’s more information on the back of the seed packets! ### 5/5 — I like this app *2014-04-17* It gives clear info and is very easy to follow. Looking forward to getting some planting done! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2013-12-30* To whom ever created this. Good job at fooling beginner gardeners with a useless app. ### 1/5 — More information on a seed packet. *2013-09-10* Sparse information and less than you would find on the back of the seed packet. The basic information is repeated in all the apps. Very disappointing. I should have put my money towards an e book on the subject. ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2013-07-24, version 1.0* Although there are some vague tips, there isn't a lot else to go on. The 'When to plant' section doesn't actually tell you when at all. It doesn't even give a rough monthly period as to when would be best. If I were to follow this guide, I'd be planting outdoor tomatoes all year round, to no avail. Useless. ### 1/5 — D *2013-06-06* Not enough variety and not enough information on how to sow, plant and harvest. Details would be appreciated. Troubleshooting also! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2013-05-10* Not enough growing information. I am a newbie and this is worthless. DO NOT BUY. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2013-01-21, version 1.0* This app is good. We want to plan our kitchen garden better this year and try and grow a regular supply of organic vegetables throughout the year. It's just what we need - simple and easy to use and understand. ### 5/5 — Really useful app *2013-01-21* This app is great. We're wanting to plan our vegetable garden better this year and to make sure we've got a regular supply of organic vegetables through the season. Definitely go for it, we're finding this really useful. ### 5/5 — Great organic info. *2013-01-20* Downloaded today, and can recommend this one. I like the way it's presented - really clear. Can't wait for planting weather. Good. ## Frequently asked questions about Growing Organic Vegetables ### What is Growing Organic Vegetables?
