Growing organic? Better double-check your soil. Unless you’ve owned your yard for generations and know exactly what’s been done with it over the years, you can’t always be sure that the backyard is organic. Just ask the Obama’s. Their organic soil went to sludge after it was discovered that the land was contaminated by the Clinton’s. Hilary Clinton’s garden was fertilized by sewage, which is actually pretty common, but it’s against the rules for organic gardening. Now Michelle Obama’s garden can never be organic, thanks to what had already been done to it by previous owners.

Even if the Clinton’s have never gardened in your yard, you don’t know who has and what’s been done to the soil over the years. To truly grow organic, always test your soil. With an indoor garden, you choose the soil yourself, so you can ensure it’s organic from the beginning.

Special soil selection is what makes indoor organic gardening so ideal. You selectively choose your soils based on your organic preferences and the vegetables you are growing. All it takes is plenty of water, good soil and rejuvenating light. It’s easy to mimic the outdoors and do your gardening indoors by supplying these three key ingredients. Plant soil in clay pots that have room to breathe. Supply your lights with plenty of ultraviolet light with growing LED lights.

When it comes to indoor growing, LED lights present many advantages in terms of function, shelf life and electricity savings. They are easy to adapt to any growing area as they require no wiring and can simply be plugged in. They also don’t have any heavy ballasts, and many come with hanging kits that make them easy to suspend from the ceiling.

LED technology provides the energy sustaining light of the outdoors to indoor plants while using just a little more energy than it would cost to leave your porch light on all night. It allows for ample indoor growing where you set the perimeters. You can select organic soil and fertilizer from the get-go and know you’re growing organic. When it comes to outdoor soil, you really never know. If the Obama’s are going to grow organic, they’ll have to use other community gardening plots in town.
