If you have never gardened before you may suddenly decide it was just a fantasy
when you walk into the garden shop and look at the price tags. Don?t get scared.
Gardening can still be a fulfilling hobby even if you have a tight gardening
budget. In fact, many gardens can be started for only about $100. You may be
able to start a garden for less if you can find some of the tools second hand,
but still good quality. A spading fork is your first gardening on a budget tool.
It?s a little bit like a pitchfork, but much smaller. It fits in your hand and
resembles a three prong fork. This handy little gardening on a budget tool will
help to improve the soil you?re working with and aerate it for better garden
planting. You?ll want a hoe for weeding and for cultivating your new garden on a
budget. Add a long nozzle watering can to the cart as well as a round ended
shovel for larger gardening digging projects. Last on your list of tight budget
gardening tools is a pair of garden shears. Make sure the garden shears fit
comfortably in your hand, especially if you?ll be wearing gardening gloves.
This pretty much completes the tight budget gardening shopping list, minus of
course the plants and flowers, but we?ll get there. Naturally, you will want to
pick a piece of land for your tight budget gardening to begin, and then you?ll
need to turn the soil. If you?re starting with a grassy area, you will need to
remove the layer of grass. The tight budgeted gardening hoe actually works
fairly well for this job. Turning the soil over and over creates a better
foundation for starting your tight budget garden. This is primarily what we
purchased the spading fork for. As it aerates the soil, you will bring small
rocks and other debris to the surface. Because you are gardening on a tight
budget, you will have to perform more of the manual labor than those who
purchase machinery to get their garden started. You may wish to keep this in
mind when you choose the size of your garden. Before you go out and purchase
plants, check with your local organic co-op. Often they have plants the require
transplanting, whether you are creating a vegetable garden or a flower garden.
People whose plants have outgrown their garden are often willing to give away
parts of the plant that will continue to grow for free, as they prefer not to
simply throw it away.About the Author: Lanny Hintz writes about Dutch gardens

- The World Trade Organization (WTO) agreed to the USA, Argentina and
Canada in the GMO-conflict with the EU. In 2003 these three countries took legal
action before the WTO against the EU moratorium on approvals for GM plants and
GM products, which has been in force until 2004, as an inadmissible impediment
to the trade with GMOs. Indeed, according to the WTO Agreement on the
Application of Sanitary and Phytosanaitary Measures (SPS) bans on imports due to
safety concerns are only permissible, if they are scientifically justified and
if trading partners are not discriminated. Although the EU has repealed the
moratorium in 2004, the suit was sustained, because in several countries the
national bans against GM products still exist (for example in Germany, France
and Italy); especially in order to protect the organically producing farmers.
Now, the WTO had condemned such national safeguard measures. Moratoriums are
barred under WTO rules. In its defence of the national measures applied in
certain EU member states, the EU draws on the precautionary language in the SPS
Agreement (Article 5.7), which allows for provisional measures to be implemented
in cases where scientific evidence of certain risks is insufficient. In fact, a
number of GMO plant varieties have been given the green light for
commercialization in the EU since new legislation was adopted in 2004. However,
a number of EU member states have retained limited bans in commercialization and
environmental release, what has led to challenges from the EU's executive
Commission to lift these national bans. Therefore the WTO panel in its interim
report was keen to stress that the challenge did not address the WTO-consistency
of the EU biotech regulations, but rather the failure of the EU to properly
apply its own procedures. In particular, on the product-specific measures, the
panel requested the EU to bring the measures "into conformity with its
obligations under SPS Agreement", effectively asking the EU to complete the
approval process for the outstanding applications. Similarly, the interim ruling
requests the national-level bans to be brought into conformity with WTO law. The
complaint also was aimed against the labelling requirements of genetically
modified food and feed being in force in the EU. The WTO verdict, however, does
not object to these.About the Author A sociologist whose main areas of
