Organic food is not only “the trend”, but it is the correct one. Everyone is running to supermarkets to buy non-toxic food, especially that it is grown without using pesticides or toxic materials. It is safer, healthier, and still tastes yummy.
However, this type of food is so expensive at many times. But hey, it is not the end of the world; you can still grow your own organic garden in these simple steps:
You have to make sure that the soil is well conditioned, to get the best results.
Second, you have to provide what the plant needs to grow in the best way possible. Compost is very important for the plant to feed on, for water conservation, and cutting down on weeds.
You should also choose plants that grow in the weather and climate conditions you live in. Some vegetables might thrive in a better way if grown in certain weather conditions.
To preserve your organic garden, it is better to water your plants in the early morning, since the amount of water lost in evaporation is a lot less than other times of the day.
Keeping insects away; now this might seem like it’s the hardest part of growing your organic garden. How can you keep insects away without using pesticides? Did you know that making your garden home for animals that eat insects might save your crops more than you can imagine? Lizards, frogs, and bats, are the group of “saviours” for your crops, among many other of course.
Always remove sick leaves, and clean after them very well, so that they do not cause damage to the entire plant.
Now we get to one of the most fun parts in growing an organic garden; harvesting! After all the hard work you put in your organic garden, it’s time to enjoy eating your all-natural vegetables or fruits, or to give them as a gift.
