Once you have decided that you are going to be growing your own vegetables you can enjoy all of the benefits of home gardening. On the other hand, considerable planning is necessary if you want to go ahead with this project. Here some layouts that you could choose for your organic garden.

Container Gardening - This is pretty much the opposite of the backyard gardening option. It is possible to start growing organic vegetables, even if space is limited. Some plant species can quite easily grow inside large pots and all sorts of other containers. Container Gardening is a perfect option for people who live in the downtown area where there is not really any garden space available. The methods used are almost the same, but on a much smaller scale. Of course, your crop yield will also be considerably smaller also.

Raised Garden Bed - Raised garden bed's mean the soil is placed in a separate raised area of land. This is done by constructing a closed frame of wood and placed on the ground. Without doubt this offers many benefits for your organic vegetable garden. Having the raised platform will make it more accessible ...
... and you will also benefit from having more power over the soil mixture. This means you can grow vegetables where the condition of the soil is not so good, also drainage will be significantly improved.

Square Foot Garden - In this configuration, the space used for planting vegetables is small in tightly packed square lots. It emphasizes the use of compost and other organic farming methods.
Raised beds are often used, but space is much narrower and better defined, this has the advantage of easy access that people will find much better. Consequently, tending to the crops and other general maintenance is also made easier. This provision is ideal for beginners to the organic vegetable garden world.

Backyard Garden - If you have enough space behind the house you could consider turning your back yard into an organic vegetable garden. This is possibly one of the most useful home improvement projects that you could do. You will have plenty of room to grow your vegetables, as well as having enough room to organize your plants properly. You can expect more crops from using this method. Although this also means that you will be required to spend some more time looking after your plants.

Interior Garden - Few people realize, but it is possible to grow vegetables inside. This system is ideal for people who have no place to install an outdoor garden. There are vegetables and other crops that need little sunlight to grow.

It's a good idea to get some gardening advice before proceeding with this project. Maximize the limited space that you have by planting vegetables that you will definately use. Whatever your choice of vegetables to plant, you need to look after and water them regularly.

The best part about organic gardening is not the money you save on your grocery bills (though this is very nice) the best thing for me is the satisfaction that comes from eating my own delicious vegetables.
