John from www.growingyourgreens.com compares commercially grown organic vegetables to fresh picked home grown vegetables. In this video, John shares the Planet Organics box of fresh fruits and vegetables that sells for $32 and compares the prices and quality to vegetables that were grown in his front yard garden. After watching this video, you will have a clear understanding which is truly best and how you can grow organic food right now, no matter what time of year it is.

Yes, they are filled from ground to the top of the beds. Please see some of my videos from 2 years ago to see the? process if your interested. See this video:/

for the costs involved with building the beds.
Love your vids, John; just suscribed today! I live on a corner and am concerned about traffic sight blockage.. hmm.. well.. no problem… I’ll figure it out. So.. I’ve been sq. ft. gardening for some time and I see yours are tall enough to sit on.. are they filled with dirt all? the way to the ground and ??? are you financially loaded to do all this.. or have you just been at it so long it’s just ?? ‘established’. Looking w/jealousy and Inspiration!
@EdibleGoddess I just posted a little video today on how you can grow ANYTHING< ANYTIME w/a hot bed! ? It’s cool! .. or?? should I say.. ‘hot’!
Great video comparison, John! I know it to be true! We became so spoiled this summer growing & eating nearly 100% all of our leafys, veggies, etc (some organic fruit is at the neighbor’s house) and I absolutely could? not believe the difference not only in taste, texture, quality, and how I felt! The winter selection is not as bountiful, working on it though!
to come in a spray a grade 3 ornamental and lawn spray in the garden to kill the RKN. That stuff is illegal to spray on soil that grows food for human consumption. Some people my think this is shocking but a lot of people in the farming world do a lot of shady things like this. So if your? not growing your own food God only knows what your eating.
Two years ago I set up a front yard garden like your, so thank so much. It has been good fun and the food is great.
I live on the cost of SC and found out that I have root knot nematode. Then I found out so does everyone else down? here, this would include the farmers in my area. Well I take the time to work hard in my garden organically to fight them. Come to find out the farmers do not and word in the garden circles is not even the so called organic farmers. They all pay someone on the down
@BigFireDave It is true that some towns and condo associations do have laws/ordinances against certain types of gardening. But there is opportunity there for caring, interested,? folks like you and me to roll up our sleeves and work for the changes we want to see.
flavor is one reason we grow our own vegetables too. we don’t currently grow enough to really live off of but we love to eat the veggies we grow. I remember when I was a kid I would eat peas raw directly from? my grandfather’s garden and it was delicious. a few years ago I bought snow peas from a local produce market and took a bite of a raw one and it was AWFUL! not what I remembered them tasting like. now I grow my own. mmmm ~Amanda
Hey John! You’re SO RIGHT! 2011 was my 1st garden. (BTW – I hate yard work and have never successfully grown a house plant!) I was successful with Self-watering Buckets and Aquaponics- not really successful with raised beds. Oh yea- i? don’t like vegetables. Everything I grew tasted GREAT- nothing tasted bitter. As I chewed, I found my vegi’s all had a sweet aftertaste. I took vegi’s to my school and got inner city kids who eat only candy, soda and chips to try them. They LOVED ‘em. FRESH ROCKS!
dude you’re too funny. the singular of leaves is leaf! with and F sound. not leave? that is not a red russian kale leaf. lol. your? vids rock.
You are fortunate to have a garden in your yard. And to a degree it is a privilege because MANY places wont allow a garden? let alone on in the front yard. There was even a news story some time back about someone that was arrested for having a raised bed garden in her front yard. So, yes it is a privilege we cant all enjoy.
Is the? Ironite Mineral Supplement (found at home depot’s website) the same as rock dust?
Not to mention the risk of buying contaminated food by mail. Great? video, John.
I loved? this video and enjoy your honest reviews.

You have a terrific garden! We have had a home grown garden for ten years and there is no comparison. John, this is? a great vid of info that you are sharing. You are serious, dedicated, a good educator, and you are? right.

Ki am growing red Russian kale but here earwigs (pincher bugs) like? it even more than I do they are tearing it up what can I do?
TY for another grt video, can? you make video on how to grow sprouts plz
@growingyourgreens Do you only recommend ocean grown? I have found a few other companies that supply the same type of item including one that ships just the salt to reduce the waste of shipping water. Thanks again. You have pushed me over the edge to get back into gardening full time. I started? a batch of seeds yesterday in Rockwool.
Does metal like? copper or lead make vegetable sweeter?
Just started building the raised beds for the front yard this evening. Only got to 170SF worth out? of the 725 that will be there but its progress! Still need to double-dig them though.
Great video, I am lucky my father enjoyed home gardening we had a garden every year and when I? got my first place I started a garden. I don’t no how people live without one. thanks for your videos I enjoy them very much.
You need to put the kale? in a vase with water. They will spring up quickly.
@growingyourgreens excellent, I’ll search for? the video now! My main thoughts are since I’m always out in the garden, every time I walk back into the house I don’t want to drag in mud and dirt, my wife will kill me
