Try growing your own herbs, fruits and vegetables! Chemical agriculture on a large scale depends on very few chemicals: mainly nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Though important, they aren't the only elements that plants need to grow and produce healthy fruits and vegetables. One study I read shows that a naturally grown vegetable (with homemade fertilizer and organic potting soil) had 84 identified minerals and elements as compared to only 8-10 in the same vegetable (using seeds from the same seed packet) grown conventionally. IE: with the standard chemical fertilizers and pesticides/herbicides.
So try out your green thumb and plant a few of your favorites. Plus, you'll love being able to walk by your plants whenever you like, and smell fresh herbs or flowers! Plus plus:) Be careful to take care of your plants daily! if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help:)
