Organic Raised Bed Gardening
Organic raised bed gardening refers to gardening in soil that has been mounded or contained higher than the surrounding soil and is separated by paths.
Raised bed gardening is an old gardening practice, but it’s currently growing in popularity again because it offers several advantages to simply growing your plants in level ground.
Organic raised beds are more productive because you can grow twice as many crops in the same area, and the soil is deep, fertile and looser as it never gets walked upon thus improving its aeration.
Five Common Organic Gardening Mistakes
Since the rediscovery of the numerous environmental benefits associated with organic gardening, more and more people are trying to go back to natural gardening methods. But like with anything new, mistakes are bound to happen. So if you are a beginner, then you should try to avoid some of the common organic gardening mistakes that many first-timers often make.
1. Do Not Over Water or Under Water
The Benefits of Organic Container Gardening
With organic container gardening, you can transform a roof, patio, balcony, or tiny yard into a garden overflowing with natural beauty. You can also put weather sensitive plants in containers, so it is easy to move them indoors when the weather gets colder.
Plants are protected in containers from bugs and other pests that crawl on the ground. In your garden bed, slugs would quickly take over your beautiful flowers, but with containers they will be less apt to do so. Root eating pests can also be deterred from container plants when you use organic soil.
Processes of Home Based Composting
Home based composting is more popular than ever because it is so easy to do. A composting devotee only needs a willing spirit and readiness to do some work.
These are a few ways to compost at home that a budding composter might find useful.
Worm Farm – Why Would I Want One?
Having a worm farm is the best alternative to having your own compost pile if you don’t have the room for one. They’re great for apartment or city dwellers. Worms create incredible fertilizer, aerate your soil and are super easy to look after. You just need to throw them your food scraps which will help them to multiply quickly and they’ll produce some beautiful soil for you to use in your organic garden or indoor plants.
A worm farm not only provides amazing fertilizer for your garden but the amount of garbage your family throws out can be reduced by almost 40 percent!
