			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Organic Gardening is one of the most environment friendly and healthy ways of gardening. It is beneficial to both your garden’s soil structure and plants.</p>
<p>Organic gardening compost is the integral part of organic gardening and is comprised of twigs, leaves, rotten fruit, manure and other natural wastes which after decay resulted into much needed nutrients for plants that can’t be even provided by best sandy loam soil.</p>
<p>Organic gardening compost is really vital for offsetting the soil by improving the soil structure, its ventilation and the ground water retention capacity. There should be a compost pit for preparing organic compost and you should be prepared with all garden tools to start digging. The size of the hold is matter of concern as it should be large enough to contain natural waste.</p>
<p>Organic gardening compost can also be prepared above the ground but it is avoided most of the times due to presence of microorganisms, insects and the smell which are hazardous for health.</p>
<p>When it comes to turn over the compost or carry the material to plants, composting equipments like a shovel or a pitchfork could prove to be handy. You need to ensure, while deciding about the location of compost pit, that you pay attention to the creatures like earthworms dwelling in soil which break down the organic matters and thus discharges the nutrients needed by the plants.</p>
<p>You may add coffee or tea grounds, eggshells, and cow’s manure to organic gardening compost in order to make ideal ground for gardening. You should keep your compost pile always away from bones, animal fat and trimmings infected with plant diseases as they may pollute the final compost product and may prove to be unfavorable for gardening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many manufacture compost but not quite as many people use it. However, even those new to composting will remember as one of the first facts about it that it’s most common use lies in organic gardening: indeed, improving soil conditions and nurturing plants with the nutrients of dead cell matter carry positive implications for us all.</p>
<p>With this being the case, gardeners and horticultural experts are always among the first to use it to best effect. In the UK, there is even a national charity dedicated to organic growing – Garden Organic, http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk<br />
In all reality, “organic gardening” is merely defined any kind of gardening without the use any chemical means, such as artificial fertilizer. As such, this document might as well, at least in part, be considered a document of advice on “traditional gardening”.<br />
Let&#8217;s start with techniques. Get to know your lawn-mower from your spade, and your shears from your rake. And be careful of back strain if you&#8217;re going to be doing it for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the notion of pest control. Organic gardening is not about breaking out the fly spray. There are certain plants you can grow in your garden that work against pests (and this is not limited to the Venus fly trap!).<br />
If you want to know more about organic gardening, suggestions include visiting the website of <a title="http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/" href="http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/">Garden Organic</a> or buying the publication <a title="Organicgardening.com" href="http://www.organicgardening.com/">Organic Gardening</a>.  Show-offs can talk to celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh.</p>
