Got A ‘Green Thumb’, Try Organic Gardening
Organic gardening not as hard as it sounds. below are some tips to get your started, as follows:
1. Make your own compost. Create compost at home, gives 100% certainty of what is in it. Plus, composting in the yard will attract helpful native wildlife such as insects that will balance the ecosystem of the garden.
When starting an Organic garden, a great tip is to figure out which vegetables to plant in the garden. Some vegetables are better suited for home germination than others. Some great vegetables and herbs to consider planting include: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, peppers, onions, tomatoes, basil, rosemary and thyme.
Plant the right seeds to guarantee Organic produce. Sowing Organic vegetable seeds provides comfort and assurance that the produce is grown organically from seed to table. Find out the best time of the year to sprout the produce chosen.
Use a finished compost pile as fertilizer for the garden. Organic means no artificial fertilizers or herbicides to grow the plants, yet sometimes the soil is not necessarily full of the proper nutrients for growth. Utilizing a compost pile with 10% bio-charcoal (Bio-char) will provide a rich, dark earthy soil that give the plants lots of needed nutrients.
Integrate low-growing strawberries into the yard’s landscape. Instead of setting aside fruit plants in a separate area, choose strawberries, such as alpine varieties, to use a ground cover that doubles as a fruit garden. These spreading, low-growing plants look attractive and grow well in areas that have a lot of Sun.
Consider building raised beds. When building raised beds size them properly for the garden, and fill with the type of soil that is suitable for what will grow in them. Since there will be little soil compaction, there will be more oxygen in the soil, and water drainage will be much better. The soil in a raised bed warms up much earlier in the Spring, increasing the growing season.
