Introduction

Organic Gardening was once upon a time perceived as only of interest to the elite rich or the extreme health conscious. However, it is of more and more growing interest as a more wholesome, natural ad healthier food option as well as a safe option for our environment. This ecological cause attached to the health cause is helping people to develop awareness and also take an active interest in organic gardening.

Moreover in today’s world we get to hear more and more about harmful chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers causing harmful consequences and organic gardening can pass off as a safe alternate option. This is because growing foodstuff organically means one can control of things and feed oneself and their family with food that they can guarantee is free from any harmful, adulterated chemicals. Moreover, it also is a way of showing respect towards Mother Nature.

Gardening by itself is not that complicated. Everybody at some point in their lives have tried to plant a seed, watered it and watched the plant grow. However, growing a garden that produces fresh food and flowers all the year round is not as easy and needs some hard work especially for people who have not been doing it often.

Hence we have tried to put together all the basic tips and tricks and guidelines through this book to help you as a beginner along the process. We want to thank you for downloading this eBook and we hope you find it helpful.

Chapter 1: What is Organic Gardening?

Organic gardening strike many as a complex term that is difficult to understand. But what it really means is gardening that does not use synthetic / artificial fertilizers or pesticides for growing plants.

An organic gardener causes least / no disruptions to the nature around. When they think of gardening, they perceive it as a part of a whole system and view it in the bigger scheme of things, keeping in mind to not disturb the ecological balance of the things around like the soil, water supply, wildlife, insects and people. There is an effort to give back or continuously replenish what is being used from Mother Nature.

It starts with the treatment of the soil – by regularly adding organic waste into the soil. Such waste is easily found in your day to day life in your kitchen, lawn and garden. Vegetable scrap from the kitchen, fall leaves, grass clippings, all act as effective raw material for natural compost which is an ideal organic input for your soil. This is a first and very important step to raising your own organic garden which is healthy, beautiful and completely natural.

The other important part is to choose and grow those plants that suit the natural conditions like the location, type of soil, climate and weather, etc. If you grow plants that are naturally adapted to grow in these conditions, they will better adapt and grow healthily, compared to if you try and grow a plant not suited for the conditions, then you may have to keep trying to boost its immunity and health to ensure that it survives and is productive
