If you are looking to start and maintain an organic
garden, below are some simple guidelines to follow:
Nourish your soil with natural products.
Use/create quality composts to feed your soils and
plants.
Deal with pest and diseases without chemicals.
Keep plants strong and healthy so they are less susceptible
to pests and diseases.
Attract helpful insects.
For an organic vegetable garden, rotate your crops.
Crop rotation is an important aspect of the organic
vegetable garden. It is all about planting groups of
similar vegetables together in a different part of the
garden each year. Crop rotation is vital in reducing
the build-up of certain pests. Pests and diseases tend
to target vegetable groups remaining in the soil for
years, and rotation practices will prevent them from
building up in the soil.
