LIVE OAK, FL, April 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new book by Barbara Barker equips container gardeners with organic methods to grow the twelve most important fruits and vegetables for their family's health.
In 2007, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed USDA pesticide residue data and compiled this list of the "top twelve most contaminated fruits and vegetables": Peaches, Apples, Sweet Bell Peppers, Celery, Nectarines,
Strawberries, Cherries, Lettuce, Grapes (imported), Pears, Spinach, and Potatoes.
Container Gardening for Health describes how to grow the "dirty dozen" in containers with organic methods. Gardeners can make a big difference in their family's pesticide exposure by growing a few of their favorites from the list.
