| | Organic gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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". | | | Control of animal pests can be achieved through natural methods, including crop rotation, physical removal of insects, introduction of prey species, interplanting which reduces the spread of pests and disease that agribusiness monocropping accentuates and through the use of companion planting of plants which may demonstrate pest-repellant characteristics. |

| | Use of organic materials as soil conditioners and fertilizers tends to improve the ability of the soil to retain moisture. | | | 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. | | | Organic gardening differs from "conventional" gardening mainly in the areas of fertilization and pest control. |

| | You're a what? An Organic Gardener? Part 1 |
| | Organic gardening is a type of gardening that uses no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. | | | Organic fertilizers release nutrients more slowly, so the plant doesn't have a flush of growth when they are applied. | | | And because your organic soil is holding the nutrients, the nitrogen and phosphorus won't leach away and end up polluting our waterways. |

| | Organic Gardening by Samantha |
| | Organic gardening, by its very nature, eliminates the use of all chemical/artificial herbicides and pesticides. | | | If you are putting a chemical on your garden to kill weeds, chances are that it will have an effect on the plants you are trying to grow; not only directly, but indirectly by sapping the soil of necessary nutrients. | | | Not just because artificial chemicals upset the natural balance of the soil, thus requiring constant use of more chemicals, or because some chemicals destroy vital garden life (beneficial insects, animals and other organisms). |

| | Organic gardening is yet another term that you hear frequently but do consumers really understand what organic gardening is? In brief, instead of using synthetic fertilizers that are manufactured to provide essential nutrients to your plants and vegetables, an organic gardener uses naturally available resources to feed their plants. | | | Hydroponics allows plants to grow without soil; they are suspended in water that is pumped full of nutrients that feed the plants and help them to grow. | | | If you're tired of your plants spilling over onto the lawn and your lawn lacking definition then you need to install garden edging. |

| | As their name suggests, the traditional material for mulching strawberries was straw, but modern organic gardeners are more likely to use black polythene. | | | Strawberries are heavy feeders and will do best on soils that contain high levels of organic matter such as garden compost or animal manure. | | | Redgauntlet is another popular variety chiefly because if you look after the plants well they will repay you with a second crop in the autumn. |

| | The rationale behind this rigid self-righteousness is that cotton, being a nonfood crop, is sprayed with heavy applications of pesticides and/or herbicides that are so hazardous that they not permitted on food crops. | | | Were I a northern gardener I'd store shredded dry leaves in plastic bags over the winter to mix into compost piles when spring grass clippings and other more potent materials were available. | | | Before the era of chemical fertilizer, market gardeners on the outskirts of large cities took wagon loads of produce to market and returned with an equivalent weight of "street sweepings." What they most prized was called "short manure," or horse manure without any bedding. |
