This video is dedicated to dispelling the top 2 GARDEN MYTHS I commonly hear on the internet: the use of pressure treated wood in garden beds is toxic and harmful to plants and humans, and using synthetic fertilizers (AKA "chemical fertilizers") such as Miracle Gro in your garden is toxic and harmful to plants and humans.
I grow mostly in raised beds. In this video, I explain why I built my raised bed garden with pressure treated lumber and discuss whether there are toxic side effects from my lumber choices.
I also discuss using synthetic fertilizer (AKA "chemical fertilizer") as a garden fertilizer and whether it concerns me from a health perspective.
The goal of this video is not meant to be the "final word" on these matters, but is simply my view of the situation and why I've chosen these practices in my vegetable garden. At the end of the day, what we grow in our garden is almost always better than what we buy at the store, so keep that in perspective and "don't let 'perfection' be the enemy of 'good.' "
