It may not be everyone's cup of tea but just the ability to grow things in the garden gives you the stepping stone needed to take up this small but very interesting form of gardening.
As you get more serious you begin to understand that this form of gardening requires certain skills additional to the ones you have.
You need to know about the type of soil, the type of plants you can place in them, how you will need to take care of those plants and there are many other considerations that you need to be aware of when you are taking your love and interest, to the next level.
It may sound a little difficult, even complicated at the beginning but whether you are a novice or if you have been marked as the one with green fingers and you've already honed you skills on this, then you might as well try the organic way of gardening.
It is a special skill or knowledge and will require a much bigger effort to that of the 'normal' way of gardening.
It is also very enjoyable! The General Concept The general rule for this type of gardening is that you will use synthetic products in all of your endeavours with regards to the task.
This will include the important elements such as the fertilizers and the pesticides.
You will get from the earth exactly what you will need for your venture into organic gardening.
You will use such elements to be able to grow something new, these are your plants, your vegetables or whatever greens you may want to grow.
Are you with me on this? Or to look at this from another point of view, you will be working closely with nature itself.
Or being one with nature.
Organic Fertilizers At this point you may well be wondering, is there such a thing? Well yes and you will be the one to make it.
You will learn how to make your own compost from materials found in and around your garden.
You can use fallen leaves and twigs, animal manure and these are just a few of the items you can make good use of.
It can be quite daunting at first, but there's always plenty of help and advice available to you.
Organic Pesticides Organic gardening wants as much as possible, to stay away from manufactured pesticides.
The old way really is to be vigilant with your garden and take off every pest that you see.
But not everyone can afford to pick the insects one by one with their bare hands.
That being the case you should go to your local store and ask for an organic pesticide that is available, to use on your garden.
The use of organic pesticides should only be considered when the continued problem of garden pests becomes too great and uncontrollable and you can no longer handle the situation.
You can also try to bring in animals that feed on those pests.
This way, you'll have some assistance in disposing of them.
That is of course, also helping the other animals satisfy their hunger! Although an enjoyable pastime, organic gardening does entail more than a casual approach.
It can be hard work so be prepared to perspire in the process.
To ease your tiredness while all this is happening understand that what you are doing is helping Mother Nature and is your way of giving back a little of what Mother Nature has given to you.
