      Vegetable Gardening And Its Importance

      Vegetable gardening is an art and the science of vegetable production within the vicinity of your home mainly for own consumption. It is referred to as an art because it entails activities such as measuring distances, building of structures, tilling of land, planting of vegetable crops, harvesting and other activities that require skill other than knowledge. It is also considered to be a science as it entails soil science, entomology and crop pathology.

      Soil science is the study of soil and it is crucial in vegetable gardening, as different vegetables require different soil characteristics to produce optimally. Entomology is the study of insects.
