Do organic gardens at home

Just imagine growing your own fresh, natural, better tasting vegetables own your own in your back yard. What an amazing way to eat! If you can plant a plant and water it, you can succeed in your organic vegetable garden. It is that simple. And the benefits for your health and the health of your family are worth the commitment. First you will need to determine where in your back yard is a good place for your garden. Your garden needs about six hours per day of sunlight, and you will need a place with good drainage and rich soil. Do some work for your garden area to enrich and fertilize the soil. It can be done naturally using mulch and compost. You can purchase compost at your local lawn and garden store or, if you want to be sure that you have natural compost, you can start your compile pile, bin or barrel.

Simply add food scraps, grass clippings, leaves, coffee grounds, etc. Remember to locate this bin or barrel away from your home and stir it all up a couple of times a week. It will smell a bit unpleasant, especially if it is warm in your area. Add this material to your soil, mix it all it, add some peat moss and maybe some earthworms and your area will be ready for your to plant your vegetables. You will need to research and get some advice as to which vegetables will do well in your area. Your local nursery or gardening store can give you excellent advice in this area. Pests and disease will be another concern for you as your garden begins to grow. Get rid your garden of pests or prevent them to begin. Natural predators such as lizards, birds, frogs and even other insects are great to add to your garden. These will control your pests in a natural way. Most diseases can be handled with warm water and mild dish detergent. You will also want to add some fencing if you live in a rural area where wildlife might enjoy your garden before you do. It is a simple process. You will need to plan some and learn and enjoy the benefits of eating healthier.
