Many people may not be aware of the fact that gardening can actually harm the environment. A large amount of carbon dioxide can be released, through the tilling of the soil. This contributes to global warming. While you are cultivating and compacting the soil, you are actually destroying good fungi. Fertilizers you use, like nitrogen and manure, often leach out of the soil and pollute the very same water that you drink.
For some people, gardening is a passion. For some others, gardening is just a hobby. For still others, it’s a way to feed their families. In the movie “Steel Magnolias,” Shirley MacLaine’s character said, “Because that’s what Southern women do – we wear funny hats and grow things in the dirt.”
