Your Garden

  • intensive gardening;

  • soil improvement;

  • composting;

  • organic methods;

While gardening has long been considered a hobby that provides exercise, enjoyment and fresh air, many in Maine are now turning to vegetable gardening for the first time to help offset increasing prices for food and fuel.
