About my garden: Why vegan and organic?

• My garden is grown in what used to be a flower bed. I don't know what fertilizers may have been used there or pesticides that may have been used on weeds there, but I do know that I can't just let the land go to waste. It is good soil, and good land, and although years ago it may have been exposed to garden weed killer or fertilizers that came from less than preferable sources, it can still be made organic.
• My garden is grown for a vegan (myself) and anything I don't use can be composted in the woods, or if it's food still, given to my family and or best friend. I chose not to use nasty byproducts of animals because blood meal just isn't something I find ethical. I know the soil here is good because it was good before anyone touched it. It is also rich because years of flowers broken down into the soil. It is also organic.
• I don't believe in pesticides where they are not needed. Perhaps in some places where malaria is a constant threat or entire fields can be destroyed by pests, it may be appropriate. It is not where I am. I believe there are natural alternatives, and especially because I have a small garden, I don't need to worry about crop yields. When I found black aphids on my zucchini the other day, I brushed them off and applied dried pepper and water to the leaves. Since I've checked there have been no black aphids. There are alternatives to harsh man made chemicals with unknown side effects. I don't need to poison the well water of my neighbors that live down hill from me, in order to have home grown veggies.
• Why vegan and organic? Organic food tastes better. It does less damage to the land, water, and animals. Mostly it tastes better. :) I feel better eating it, because I don't have to remind myself of how little fresh water is available on our planet, and how much can be poisoned from run off. Why vegan? Because things like blood, bone, and fish meal are nasty and unnecessary for a garden. Nothing should have to suffer (except a few hungry or displeased insects) in order for me to eat.
• Why my own garden? Not only do I get to care for it, but I can also make sure things are done to my standards. It is right outside my door. No fuels to transport the food. It brightens up what would otherwise be weed-filled or empty flower beds, and it is fun. It is fun to take pictures, inspect my plants, and care for them. :) Cost is another big factor. What I spent on seeds I can be returned to me and my family by not needing to buy what veggies I grow. If I wanted a vegetable before at the store, I had to justify my want for the cost. With my own garden, the only cost was the seeds, and the energy to get our water. Really, the benefits outweigh the burdens.
• For me there is no why or how in this, only try, only do. I want my garden, I have what I need in order to do it, so if all it takes is some time and effort, then I will make my garden and do it how I want. It's as simple as that.
