Organic gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (621 words) |
 | Organic gardening is a form of gardening that uses substantial diversity in pest control to reduce the use of pesticides and tries to provide as much fertility with local sources of nutrients rather than purchased fertilizers. |
| Organic gardeners emphasise the concept that "the soil feeds the plant". |
| For the organic grower, unwanted plants (or weeds) are suppressed without the use of herbicides. |
| Organic Vegetable Gardening basics (3266 words) |
| The organic gardener prefers to use natural and organic materials and methods, and avoids using practices and synthetic chemicals that may be detrimental to his health or environment. |
| Since organic fertilizer and soil conditioning materials are slow working in general, they should be mixed into the soil at least three weeks ahead of planting and the soil thoroughly prepared for the seed or transplants. |
| A major basis for organic gardening is the use of abundant quantities of organic material applied to the soil. |
