The Foundations Of Gardening With Organic Gardening Techniques

Organic gardening is the method of growing herbs, veggies, fruits, and other plants without using synthetic pesticide sprays or fertilizers. The main motivation is to operate in harmony with mother nature to provide produce in addition to flowers without negatively affecting the natural environment or our health and wellness.

Organic farmers often recycle the resources that the garden depletes by saving any organic resources produced. The effect is a recycling of nature’s bounty.

One of the main characteristics of an organic garden is that there isn’t any man-made pesticide sprays or fertilizers utilized to help grow plants. The concept in regards to this would be that the natural world is healthier without these types of nasty chemicals harming other living organisms (including people).

You do organic gardening based on what you see. For instance, to determine if pesky insects are targeting your plants, you should pay attention to the plant itself. Notice under the leaves, exploring the flowers, observing the stems… Find out what bugs are in fact eating on your plants. After you notice the unwanted insects, you can educate yourself on what the very best organic methods of insect control are for that specific bug, virus, or fungus.

The techniques of pest management can include things as easy as squirting soap and water on your vegetation. It sometimes calls for unusual things like cayenne pepper. Other times you will discover that you may require even something as exotic as beer. Did you know that beer will kill snails? It’s true!

There are lots of bug repelling plants that help the organic gardener. Marigolds are a good example of insect repellent plants. If you will plant marigolds near your tomatoes, it will help keep the insect population down. Marigolds put out phytochemicals that insects don’t like to be around.

Some insects are considered so good for the organic garden that gardeners try to bring them in to battle the bad bugs if they are not present. The ladybug and the praying mantis are two of the most famous beneficial bugs in the gardening world. Organic gardeners love them to live in high populations in their organic garden. Aphids make a tasty treat for these bugs. Because of this predation, the plants grow to be much healthier in the absence of garden pests.

Soil is the foundation of most gardening, unless you are thinking about hydroponics which requires no soil, only water. However, the organic gardener wants rich soil that will make the plants grow well. The result is a bountiful crop that thrives in the organic soil. Organic soil is very rich in nutrients and therefore so is the food produced by it.

Organic gardening is the best way to grow garden food. Read more about McGroarty’s Plant Production Secrets at PlantProductionSecrets.com Also published at The Foundations Of Gardening With Organic Gardening Techniques.

Urine for Garden, Composting Urine

Human urine is a great, natural, free source of Nitrogen for your soil or compost.
Flushing your urine after each pee, would waste thousands of gallons of water per year at home. Then, your valuable urine is not only lost, but it goes to a chemical waste center where they must use chemicals on all that water you flushed, since within the sewage pipes it has all gotten mixed with stool.
To minimize the water shortages seen in so many communities, an easy way to save water is by NOT flushing away your urine. Using for your compost or garden is an extra benefit. (If you just let it sit in the toilet bowel until you have a bowel movement, then the urine can start to smell up your bathroom, and your garden or compost would be missing out on a great source of liquid nitrogen.)

Try it…. it is much easier, cleaner, and normal than you might think.
