ORGANIC GARDENING

Organic Gardening is the way Nature intended its vegetables, herbs and fruits to be grown. Organic Gardening means gardening without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. By growing plants, especially those grown for human consumption, gardeners get healthy, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables that promote health, rather than cause health problems. Successful organic gardening, whether outdoors or indoors, is a bit more time-consuming, but the benefits of eating fresh produce and avoiding the short and long-term effects of the chemicals used in most commercial produce production are more than worth it.

Organic Weed and Pest Control

Since organic gardening, by definition, means avoiding harsh chemicals to control pests, weeds and diseases in your garden, care is needed when picking products for these uses. Hand weeding and hand picking of small insect pests and fences and barriers against larger pests are the traditional methods used by organic gardeners, there are times when other methods make good sense.
