Organic Gardening

One of the best ways to get started is to buy some heirloom seeds. You'll find that heirloom seeds are taken from plants that were once common in human history. They have not been genetically modified and as a rule, they tend to be fairly hardy. They are not hybrids, and there are around 4,000 varieties of seeds. This gives you variety.

When working with organic gardening, you'll find that it is always a good idea to consider the lay out of your garden.

You'll find, for instance, that you can work with intensive intercropping, where you'll find that one crop is grown between rows of another This allows you to take full advantage of your gardening space, and reduce your water and composting requirements. You'll find that container gardening is another way to maximize your space. For my organic gardening I use the Earthbox.

You'll find that by planting some flowers and herbs around your garden, you'll be strengthening its immunity to insects. Consider marigolds, mints and chives for a start. Don't forget to rotate your crops annually. This will deter pests.

All good gardens needs a fair amount of planning, and the more you plan, the more prepared you are going to be. Take the time to consider what you can do to make sure that your garden continues to feed you and nourish you in the future! If you have children and grandchildren get them involved.
