Organic Gardening
Aug0
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.
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
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”.
Let’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’re going to be doing it for an extended period of time.
Then there’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!).
If you want to know more about organic gardening, suggestions include visiting the website of Garden Organic or buying the publication Organic Gardening. Show-offs can talk to celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh.
