Grow Healthier Fruits and Vegetables by Implementing Organic Gardening Techniques that Produced First Thanksgiving

Nearly 400 years ago the Pilgrims shared the first Thanksgiving with their Native American neighbors in celebration of surviving a brutal winter. That three-day feast represented a turning point for the new settlers as they learned how to effectively live off an unforgiving land that had threatened to wipe out their community. While the stories of the Pilgrims hard work and determination persist to this day the role Native Americans played in ensuring their success is often times left out.

For generations the Native Americans had thrived off the same land that posed countless challenges for the Pilgrims. These Indians had learned how to overcome the bad soil and harsh climate to produce bountiful harvests that fed their tribes on a consistent basis and it was these lessons that they passed down to the Pilgrims that led to that first Thanksgiving.

In his new eBook “Squanto’s Secret Garden” Bill Heid, president of Solutions from Science, reveals those valuable lessons that guaranteed the survival of the Pilgrims and explains why the organic gardening techniques used by the Native Americans are just as useful and significant today as they were all those years ago.

Without the aid of chemical-based fertilizers or the high-tech gardening equipment the Native Americans still found a way to cultivate the poor soil and enjoy produce bountiful harvests. So how did the Native Americans manage to tackle the same problems that threatened the very existence of the Pilgrims? Their success is outlined in Heid’s free eBook, available for download at www.FirstThanksgivingGarden, and he provides detailed instructions on how you can implement the same organic gardening approach today to produce healthier and tastier fruits and vegetables.

Understanding that their crops would only be as good as the soil they planted them in the Native Americans adopted the practice of using fish to fertilize their land. This practice provided the soil with vital nutrients like calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur, thus the fruits and vegetable they grew were nutritionally superior to the food most of us consume today.

Heid not only reveals the significance of implementing fish fertilization developing organic gardens but also examines other techniques that Native Americans used to produce a constant stream of nutritional food. These techniques include the application of smaller gardens to produce better food as well as “companion planting” that helped nourish the soil.

Heid makes all these techniques known in his new eBook “Squanto’s Secret Garden” and offers readers helpful tips and advice on how they can put into practice the same methods developed by the Native Americans.
