Of course the use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and leaving the soil without any mulch or organic matter covering it are practices that these days we know are not correct and there are much much better ways without so much work, to have a family garden. Bio intensive and natural agriculture are the best alternatives of course.. but it is nice to see how people cultivated their own food back in the 40`s.The good news are that we are starting to do it again but not because of war.
Actually, this would have to be been released in 1942, several months after World War II began, when the White House encouraged the growing of "backyard" gardens in order for more civilians on "The Home Front" to eat fresh vegetables (in lieu of meats and other food items that were rationed, with the bulk sent to military personnel overseas).
