Grow healthy Vegetables with Organic Gardening

Organic Garden Basics

Organic gardening is not just about replacing harmful fertilizers and pesticides with natural alternatives. The art of organic gardening involves both theory and practice.

The organic approach acknowledges the complexity of the natural world and aims to work within these systems.

Soil: Conventional fertilizers are generally soluble, making their ingredients readily available. Organic gardening relies on soil-living creatures to make food available to plants.

Natural pest control: Organic gardening aims to attract natural pest controllers to your garden. Ladybeetles, birds, and frogs all help to keep pests such as aphids, snails and insects in check in your garden. Other methods such as barriers and traps, disease and pest resistant plant varieties, and crop rotation also provide natural alternatives to pest control.

Managing Weeds: Weeds are a valuable composting resource but can also compete with other plants in your garden for food and water. Options such as hoeing, mulching or the use of solar heat are natural alternatives commonly used in an organic garden.

The environment: By minimizing the impact on the environment organic gardening can help make a positive contribution to environmental sustainability. This means recycling and reusing, providing habitats for natural wildlife and the use of sustainable practices.

The fact is that all products sold on the market may have been grown in the field and then they are distributed to the market where they are tucked away for hours and even weeks. Gradually, they lose their nutrients due to the fact that their freshness is comprised when they travel from field to farm and from farm to retailers.

The stores do keep all vegetables and fruits in a safe and cool environment yet it doesn’t help much in keeping up their freshness and taste. Traveling to the store to purchase the food is another hassle that makes you drive sometimes miles away from your home.

Permaculture Gardens Taking Root

Permaculture gardens taking root Permaculture gardens use practices and techniques that combine the best out of a variety of gardening techniques including edible landscaping, wildlife gardening, and native plant cultivation so that gardens can be turned into a system that is self-contained, productive, and low-maintenance.

With the growing awareness of sustainability, it is best to create a garden landscape that mimics nature, so that space is used wisely and material is recycled, which is the basis of the idea that surrounds permaculture.

There are, however, many different approaches to permaculture, one of which is known as the Keyhole Garden. The Keyhole Garden is best for those who only have a small space to work with, and want to be able to access their garden from all sides. It is common for these gardens to be shaped in a circular or horseshoe pattern, with raised beds so that you do not have to bend over too much.

Another popular form of permaculture gardening is taking the available space you have and using it at your disposal by creating vertical gardening opportunities out of trellises or a hanging garden. The basic premise is to make full use of all space and keeping the plants that need the most maintenance closest to you.

The main focus of a healthy permaculture garden is excellent soil that contains insects and worms so that the soil stays healthy for plants. All wastes from the gardens can then be used as fertilizer for other parts of your yard.
