About Organics
Organic
gardening is a system that is used to grow plants using
natural methods of fertilization, pest and disease control
along with planting plants that can benefit each other.
Growing your own organic garden is not that hard to do,
and you will be surprised at the high yields of fruits and
vegetables that can be produced. Techniques like
succession and companion planting are very beneficial to
this method of gardening.
Organic
gardening is done the same way as nature does in the wild,
naturally. Growth, death and decay are the principals
behind good nutritious soil. In the forest plants live and
die. Insects, worms and animals consume them and release
nutrients back into the soil. The nutrients are then
consumed by plant life. There is no need for chemical
fertilizers in a natural environment. Nature also has a
way of controlling insects with natural predators and
parasites.
Organic gardening is basically the same as these natural
cycles with one exception. When you harvest the crops from
your garden you are removing them and not letting them
decompose back into the soil, as nature would have done.
So, you will need to add organic materials back into the
soil. This can be done by simply composting.
It's All About the Soil
All plants grown in soil depend on it for all the air,
water, nutrients, and structure they need to grow strong
and resist disease and pests. Soil is your gardens
foundation. Take care of your soil properly and your
plants will flourish and provide you with an abundant
supply of fruits and vegetables.
