Vegetable Garden Design Adds Color To Backyard Landscping
The standard vegetable garden most of us visualize requires little, if any, design per se. It is normally nothing more than a rectangular area plowed out of the earth that is level with surrounding soil. This can create both environmental and aesthetic problems for properties within the city limits. Pesticides and fertilizers designed specifically for food crops are often highly toxic to native plant life and animals. When heavy rains wash them into surrounding areas, they frequently poison flowers, exotic plants, native grasses, and even wash down the Houston bayous into sensitive ecosystems and wildlife areas.
