A new survey shows a 19 percent projected increase in food gardening in 2009 over 2008 .
The increase will be even greater in the future when urbanites and suburbanites discover how much easier and more productive it is to produce personal and family food in sub-irrigated boxes, beds and buckets.
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Findings from the National Gardening Association's (NGA) new survey, The Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America, indicate food gardening in the United States is on the rise as 7 million more households plan to grow their own fruits, vegetables, herbs or berries in 2009, up 19 percent from 2008.
