Gardening

Think "groups" rather than rows as they are more productive and easier to attend to.

Getting The Soil Ready For Your Organic Growing Plot
You need to look into testing your soil before you begin. Tests are available from your local center. Good soil should be pleasant to the touch, eye and nose. Once you are satisfied with your soil you can begin.

Planting In Your Organic Garden
Your going to be best served growing from the seed rather than buying plants as they could have been sprayed with pesticides at some point. Also you'll feel a lot more like a gardener using seeds! Obviously patience is needed to grow from the seed.

Weeding Your Organic Garden
Use a hoe to stop weeds developing into large competitive monsters to your plants! Just simply dig around your crops with a hoe once a week or so.
Once your crop seedlings are larger, the soil is warm and drenching rains have ended, put down a layer of mulch to hold in moisture and smother weeds. Mulch is material that can be laid down around the plants to control weeds.

Pests In Your Garden?
Don't despair at the sight of insects on and around your crops! To start with just have a watch of them and see if they are actually causing damage. A lot of bugs will just nibble small enough amounts that good healthy plants can resist and recover from, so don't be too hasty!

Creating Compost For Your Organic Garden
So what are the benefits of compost? It should be used as mulch to reduce evaporation, reduce weed growth, insulate the soil from extreme temperature and keep soil cooler in the day and warmer at night time!
Good compost should be made up of balanced materials. It should be balanced between carbon materials - washed egg shells, milled grains, dried grass, straw and leaves. And nitrogen materials - most kitchen scraps, fresh grass and other plant matter.
