About me and Organic Gardening For Life

A Beginners Guide for the Experienced Grower

For people who have no experience with organic gardening it can be a daunting challenge to learn what works versus the marketing hype. I know from experience how frustrating it is to get a straight answer to a simple question. So my intent is to write with the beginner in mind as well the experienced grower looking for new practical information.
Besides the obvious nutritional value of organically grown food there are other benefits that deserve a mention as well.

Organic gardening allows you to take responsibility for the environment in your own back yard!

It builds soil fertility. A must for growing healthy nutritious produce.

Gardeners experience lowered stress and anxiety levels among.

It provides invaluable teaching moments for children.

It reduces your overall grocery expense

provides an additional revenue stream for those who excel.

The preliminary results are in... "Greg Traver is the best copywriter that my company has ever hired. Traver wrote an article about Mid South Cotton Farmers switching to corn production and how some are using our Delta Grain Bags in Mississippi. Today when someone searches Google for "Mississippi grain bag system" his article about our grain bags is number one! But it gets better. On this page there is a form that connects directly with us and we can follow up right away. Machinery & Brokerage, Tunica Mississippi"

"Greg Traver started writing about our Black Gold Brand, cotton burr compost products last fall. As of today we are number two on google search results for cotton burr compost! We are also listed near the top for Google product search as well because Greg showed us how to get our products listed online at Ebay."

"Greg Traver is the hottest new writing talent it has been my pleasure to discover in the last five years. There isn't a non-organic gardening subject he can't tame, an no organic subject he isn't interested in! His work is a joy to read! L.A. Frank, KeywordEditing.com"

...Thanks to all who participated!

Thank you all for your really kind words. But to give credit where it is due there are many people responsible for getting me to this point, it was a true group effort.

I need to back up first and tell you my passion is organics, so naturally I talk a lot about it. But sometimes I would find myself frustrated at the amount of time I spent repeating myself. I thought one day how great it would be if I could just write it all down once, where anyone could access it any time they wanted. But as I began investigating just how I was going to do this I was quickly confused and over my head. People wanted to charge me thousands and thousands of dollars to put up a web site that only had a handful of pages. Then forty five to sixty dollars an hour to make changes, corrections or additions. But one little tiny thing they conveniently forgot to tell me was that no one would actually see my website! Because it wouldn't be listed in any search engines or directories. To the person searching online for information, I wouldn't exist unless I paid to advertise on pages that had ranking. Does that sound familiar to you? Have you spent over five grand to have a nice shiny new site put up and have no traffic? How is that for a return on investment? I don't know your reaction but it really peeved me off! Fortunately you can turn it around and make it pay for itself. I learned by doing it for myself, but you may want to see how fast and inexpensive SBI services can do it for you.

I want to thank my Editor, L.A. Frank at Keywordediting.com for believing in me when I doubted myself as well as their truly superb work!

And an extra special tortoise "high five" to Sara Ding of juicing-for-health.com For honoring my site with it's first inbound link! If you are unaware of the many benefits of juicing fruits and vegetables I implore you to try for yourself.
Ever wonder what a site that has a top 3% page rank at looks like? Then go back and click on that link.

Additionally I want to thank the hundreds of thousands of websites, dozens of blogs, publishers and article directories that have thought enough of my work to use it as content for their websites.

Hello Memphis!

From the Heart of Shelby County, USA! I've learned the hard way. Next time I need a local move I am going to call Larry at Two Men and a Truck this is the only local moving professionals I will ever use again in Memphis. This is definitely a life situation where you don't want to hire the cheapest thing out there. It's about people who understand the value your belongings and handling them as such. If you have those really nice barrister cabinets in your office and you are moving to a new location, it is kind of nice to get them in the new space without having to replace the glass and using shoe polish to hide the chipped corner.

My Epiphany?

The day I was diagnosed with an Crohn's Disease was probably not the most exciting day of my life. I didn't believe it and went for a second opinion where I was told "There is no known cure and you will probably never work again in your life!" I was hospitalized seven times and had two surgeries during that first year. I was taking nine different prescriptions drugs, some to help with the reactions caused by the first! Needless to say I wasn't getting any better and my future was not looking any brighter!

Since then I have come to an awareness my "disease" was nothing more than a toxic overload caused by a diet of processed, lifeless, nutritionally devoid, foods and poor lifestyle choices. What healed me and got me off prescriptions? I began juicing!
The other big thing in my life is natural herbs for cooking and medicinal purpose. And of course all grown organically!

Home Herbal Remedies Info
A great resource for herbal information. Look up information on specific herbs, find herbal remedies for specific ailments and learn to make your own tinctures, oils, salves, infusions, etc...

As a parting thought, last week I happened to see that the NY Daily News had featured one of my articles on the front page of their gardening site. Thanks Guys, I still miss New York but not the winters. Go Giants!

(Well, maybe next year)

Best Regards

Greg Traver
