How do you create an organic garden?

Organic Gardening Ideas

One way that you can live more sustainably is to take up organic gardening. Here are some ideas to create the perfect organic garden in your backyard:

-It's always best to use native plants that naturally thrive in your local area. A visit to a nearby park or outdoor area can give you some ideas as to what grows well around your home.

-Make soil a priority. All plant life needs nutrient-rich soil to grow. Remember that it takes time for good soil to take root. First plant short-lived annuals before you move on to long-lived perennials.

-When purchasing fertilizer, or pest-solutions, always check the label for the product ingredients. Gardening products that have a seal from the Organic Materials Review Institute have been checked for organic production, handling, and processing.
