I live in Pensacola Florida and have always dreamed of feeding my family of the fruits produced from my garden instead of the store bought produce. I have tried but failed in the past. This year for example I planted 10 tomato plants, at first the plants were doing great but then either the birds or the worms or critters got them before I could try even one, so I started with pesticides and anything I could think of withough any avail so I finally gave up. I've asked many friends that also live in Pensacola how they did this year and they tell me the same thing that they could not grow anything.
I've been doing a lot of research on organic gardening and also raised beds. Acording to many people that have tried it they say that the plants are stronger therefore they produce more and that they withstand critters and diseases better. Also that if you use raise beds you can grow more if your space is limited therefore you end up with more produce.
After a lot of research I ended up purchasing a dvd called organic gardening made easy to see if this would help me.
I guess my question is whether organic gardening works and what I should do different so I can finally grow vegetables?
