What does this term mean?
Organic Gardening ( the simple answer ) is where gardeners only use animal or vegetable fertilizers rather than synthetics. Where natural pest control devoid of industrial insecticides is used. Instead of using harmful agents that will kill "bad" bugs as well as the "good" bugs. In other words, using natural substance and beneficial insects to ward off pests.
Organic Gardening ( the philosophy ) stresses that we should be increasing the natural health of the soil, choosing appropriate plants that are suited to your area, and working with nature to produce a healthy and productive garden. It understands that we cannot control, but rather we must encourage nature. It is taking the approach of treating the cause of problems and not the symptoms. At times Organic Gardening my seem like a great unknown mystery, but it is not. It is just a different system that requires observation and common sense. For every problem you might come across and you may think of using chemicals ( synthetics ) solution, there is always an organic solution.
We heard in our last meeting from Paul a great example of how you could use egg shells in the soil to prevent Blossom-End Rot in your tomato plants. This is a great example of being an Organic Gardener.
Do you think we can practice being an Organic Gardener in our small community garden?
Do you have any other organic tips to share?
