Organic Gardening
       






 

 

Organic gardening has been practiced for centuries with gardeners wishing to avoid the use of chemicals and fertilizers on food crops in particular.

Organic gardening also focuses on the health and structure of the soil that we use. Beneficial or garden friendly insects are also encouraged in an organic garden.

How to start an organic vegetable garden.

It needs to be remembered that any residual pesticides etc will take some time to work their way out of your garden, so organic may not be immediate, but by following steps below you will be on you way.

  • Stop using all fertilizers, pesticides, weed killers and any other non organic additives to all parts of the garden.
  • Find a place in your garden that is sunny, away from buildings and drains and other areas that are possibly a source of contamination. Clear the area and establish where you want the garden beds to be.
  • Establish a compost bin that you fill with pesticide free, grass clippings, leaves and other fine material.
  • Once the compost has started to decompose, spread a layer over the garden bed and dig it into the soil, not to deep. The beneficial microbes and bacteria do not like to buried to deeply. Speed this up by getting some organic compost from a neighbor.
  • Find some organic mulch to place over the top of the garden bed and keep the area moist.
  • Avoid soil compaction by not standing on the garden bed.
  • After a few weeks you are ready to start planting. You will need to purchase organic seeds or seedlings to promote the organic nature of the garden.
  • Learn about organic pesticides such as Garlic Spray, Neem Oil, Onion and Mint and Pyrethrum
  • Discover how to make your own organic fertilizers
  • Buy only from nurseries that supply organic vegetable seeds and seedlings
