Eating healthy.
There's a lot you can read, many studies, and much to be said on the benefits of eating healthy. I'm just going to point out a few of they key benefits that probably appeal to everyone.
A healthy diet full of vegetables and raw foods has many positive effects. Some of these include.
- Better sleep
- improved mood and sense of well being
- a longer life
- more energy
- improved quality of life through how you feel
- a more youthful appearance
- less illness
- clarity of mind
There's a lot that could be added to this list.
The question that I have for you is; when you know what healthy food can do for you, why put anything in your body but health?
This is part of why Veggiescapes was created. We want you to experience the benefits of having your own organic food in your back yard, while showing people the feasibility of sustainability.

Extending your growing season
Through the use of greenhouses, cold frames, and row covers.
In vancouver a proper greenhouse or cold frame you can extend the growing season to nearly year round, especially if you are willing to supplement with an additional heat source. Row covers can help you to plant up to a month earlier, and extend the season another month further into the fall. (Provided you install them a few weeks prior to start warming the soil.)
Greenhouses, cold frames, and row covers protect against pests, and sudden weather changes and temperature fluctuations. Greenhouses and cold frames can be relatively economical (based on design) and row covers are inexpensive.
Our company will design and build something that will work the best for you and your needs.

When we think about changing how the human race lives on this planet, most of us feel rendered useless, unable to make a difference to this larger scale problem; but that's just it, where the problem actually exists. We don't think our choices will affect the greater issue- so we don't do much.
Creating a sustainable future takes action on the level of the individual. Where our food comes from is part of that. Our company can help you be the difference you would like to see. We make it easy to have your own fresh produce. Eating from your own back yard is a great way to help create a sustainable future. When you take the steps to become more self sustaining it influences other's perspective more than you know. You have the choice to become part of an expanding ripple affect that may one day create a beautiful future of abundance

Composting is essential for reintroducing nutrients into the soil.
In essence, compost is moist, rotting organic matter, however, here's a few simple tips that will help the natural process along.
- Good compost has a mix of brown and green plant matter. Things such as stems, wood chips, and dry leaves are good brown components. Grass clippings, kitchen waste, green leaves are some examples of green matter
- Don't start too small. The breakdown process requires a critical mass to get started.
-Keep things moist. Moisture is necessary for the bacteria to do their job
-Remember to keep adding some new material now and then.
-Turn the compost about once a week to make sure all the materials are blending well. Composting is not rocket science but if you follow these simple things in about a month you will have a nutrient rich mixture to spurt your vegetables growth.
