Organic gardening has been practiced for centuries with gardeners wishing to avoid the use of chemicals and fertilizers on food crops in particular. Organic gardening is based around the principle that 'The Soil Feeds the Plant'. So it is by naturally increasing the health structure and fertility of the soil that we take steps towards a productive organic garden.

Organic gardening also focuses on the health and structure of the soil that we use. Beneficial or garden friendly insects are also encouraged in an organic garden.

Organic Gardening Tips

  • Stop using all fertilizers, pesticides, weed killers and any other non organic additives to all parts of the garden.
  • Find a place in your garden that is sunny, away from buildings and drains and other areas that are possibly a source of contamination. Clear the area and establish where you want the garden beds to be.
  • Establish a organicompost bin that you fill with pesticide free, grass clippings, leaves and other fine material.
  • Once the compost has started to decompose, spread a layer over the garden bed and dig it into the soil, not to deep. The beneficial microbes and bacteria do not like to buried to deeply. Speed this up by getting some organic compost from a neighbor.
  • Find some organic mulch to place over the top of the garden bed and keep the area moist.
  • Avoid soil compaction by not standing on the garden bed.
