Many food stores carry what they pass on as “organically grown” vegetables or herbs. But there is no guarantee for their claims; most of the veggies/herbs are chockfull of pesticides. These vegetables/herbs instead of helping us are making us sick. The only way to guarantee 100% organic vegetables/herbs is to grow them yourself.
With Organic methods for gardening, flowers, fruit and vegetable, everything can be grown free from pesticides in healthy soil maintained with compost from recycled materials.
In Organic gardening is the growing fruits and vegetables without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. An organic gardener endeavors to work in synchronization with nature, using decaying plant wastes, grass clippings, fall leaves and vegetable scraps from the kitchen for fertilizing the soil.
One of the most crucial factors of organic gardening is to “Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants”. Adding organic matter improves any soil’s texture as well as attracting soil organisms that create nutrients in the soil.
All the creatures in your garden, are not pests, the goal of organic gardening isn’t to be free of all garden animals, but to maintain a healthy balance between the good and the bad. In fact if possible, create a fish less pond for wildlife as this will draw many animals that are a gardener’s friend like frogs, toads, hedgehogs, birds and bats. Flowers like calendula, fennel, Californian poppy and poached egg plant encourage predatory, pest-controlling insects like hoverflies, lacewings, and ladybirds.
