Organic gardening is a science of working in harmony with nature and easy to learn. A cost effective, healthy method of gardening for both you and the environment. Going green in your garden can be a fun and a learning experience with great rewards.
Simply by stopping the use of chemicals to control pests, weeds and to feed your plants will allow nature to start working for you in your garden. Nature has it's own ways to control weeds, pests and to supply nutrients to the soil for plants to feed from to thrive. The starting point for all this to take place is with the natural method of decomposition of organic matter.
For the home gardener, this same method can be done by composting your organic household and yard waste. This waste when composted will turn into a nutrient rich humus that will greatly benefit the soil structure in your garden. Once this organic matter is added to your gardens soil it will let nature start to take over and allow life to start developing in the soil, working it and supplying the nutrients need for your plants to thrive. To keep this act of nature alive all you need to do is feed the soil the organic matter it needs. With a healthy soil, your garden will grow strong, healthy plants that will defend themselves from pests and diseases naturally.
Organic gardening is all about the soil food web. It is when you supply the soil with the organic matter needed to keep the complex community of life that exists in it strong and healthy. This community of life consists of microorganisums that turn organic matter into a nutrient rich humus.
Along with gardening, using these practices will not only grow a healthy crop, it will help to keep our air and water supplies free from the chemical pollutants that have been so freely used.
Go Green with your gardening practices and do your part in keeping the environment clean.
