DIY Gardening

Aloha, this is Todd from Team Hi5 and this is my first of many video blogs of do it yourself gardening. About 4 years ago, my family and I decided to start growing some of our own vegetables. Growing your own vegetables at home has many benefits. First, because you choose to garden at home and raise your own vegetables, there is an absence of genetically modified organisms or GMOs in the final product. Second, you save money not only by growing your own vegetables, but you save money by not paying for the cost of importing fruits and vegetables that the supermarkets include. Third, if you plant the right things, you can save time, the environment as well as more money by not wasting/using gas driving to the store to buy fruits and vegetables. Lastly, I personally enjoy gardening and it definitely gives you a sense of accomplishment knowing that you are doing your part to be self-sustainable.

Enjoy the video and feel free to give any feedback!
