Modern vegetable garden GUIDEBOOK SERIES ON TUNNEL CULTIVATION
Vegetable garden Until recently, vegetable gardens have been a permanent element of the landscape; however, for a short while, they disappeared from the backyards. Fortunately, it did not last too long, as they boldly conquered urban gardens. These days, vegetables and fruits are available in stores all year round, making it difficult to choose those that could be described as "healthy". Of course, the whole range of eco, bio and organic products is boosted by pseudo-logos, but many of them are marketing tricks, used to make customers pay more for regular harvests. In contrast , local producers are offering healthy and tasty vegetables. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to such growers or eco-shops with a real purpose.
The advantages of vegetable gardens Gardens bring benefits, especially health benefits. Every minute spent in the garden is worth the effort, and the visible effects become a source of pride, which even spreads further. With effective care and experience, you can get crops free of artificial substances, chemical additives, preservatives, which means fully organic goods that taste completely different from the first bite. They might not always look as perfect as those from the store, but you can eat them without fear.
Tomato, kale, pak choi, lettuce, spinach, raspberries, and even scorzonera Although everyone knows that systematic consumption of vegetables improves general health, many people still develop a deficiency of vitamins in their body. Well, if we look realistically at the price of crops, it turns out that a family of three spends quite a lot on food in stores. Such a cost can be minimized, and even completely reduced after a few seasons. Year on year, more and more vegetables will get stored on the pantry’s shelves in the form of preserves, and any surplus can be given as a gesture of friendship or sold. The low cost of plant production straight from seeds can be estimated at a few cents for one vegetable. Growing from seedlings, you speed up harvest time, but the cost is much higher. With more experience, you can try to produce the seeds yourself. For this purpose, propagators are used, and when plants grow, these are placed under cover.
Fresh and healthy plants straight from the garden patch Every plant, even with the best packaging, loses a lot of its freshness after a few days, and sometimes they are lying for weeks on the store shelf. And that is what it is all about, because only fresh goods have the most intense aroma and flavor. It is only by picking them straight from the garden that we can keep all the qualities that will delight the palate and tickle the senses, benefiting from a lot of vitamins and microelements at the same time. The polytunnel allows us to cultivate what we like. Even tropical and oriental plants can grow in a foil greenhouse. Have a look at the prices of some of them to understand how much you can save.
Activity in the open air Many people run, practice yoga, go to the gym, lead a healthy lifestyle, opting for a specialized diet. Starting growing plants in a garden tunnel would be enough though to combine all factors that positively affect our body. If you do not like sport, running a garden plot is a great alternative. Digging the garden, cleaning and caring for plants are some of the best exercises.

Which plants to choose for the vegetable garden? Here, it's mainly what we like to eat and what the family expect. Each of the plants requires different soil conditions and positioning, but there are no major obstacle to fulfill these requirements. For this, we can create garden crates, called raised beds in England. The raised bed is easier to care for, because we do not have to bend down as low. In addition, one variety of plant (root, onion, cucurbita, etc.) can be grown next to each other, as they are separated by boards on each side. Â When choosing crops, it is very important to know if they can grow side by side. For this purpose, coordinated-growing method and intensive cultivation are used.
