Are You Really An Organic Gardener? - I know my mom tried to teach me not to judge people but it’s tough some times, like when you talk to Gardeners who claim to be organic, but have proof lying around that says otherwise, like discovering they hire someone to spray poison on their lawns to kill of the weeds that are tough to get rid of.
Home gardening tip – Don’t say it if it ain’t so…
Maybe they should just say you are going organic rather than claiming you’re an organic gardener. Then work on going 100% but it’s best to start somewhere, right.

Gardening Tip: Plan your home garden right and you can almost let it go on it’s own. Of course it won’t be 100% without a bit of help from you with weeding and pruning to keep it presentable.
Even the weeding can be controlled by the way you plant things. If there is no open ground space the weeds will have a hard time to get a foot hold.
We have started creating our own compost to continually add to our organic garden but we are now looking at creating our own mulch as well. This will help us cover the open areas we don’t with to plant on but to cover it so weeds don’t grow either.

The mulch will keep in moisture for the plants you have so you don’t waste water. The compost will add nutrients to the existing soil.
I remember back to when I was a kid. It was all poisons to control Mother Nature but in recent years we have been moving to all things organic so we are doing our part to help Mother Nature instead of killing her.
Whether you are limited to small-scale gardening, or you just want to grow herbs in the kitchen, always try to be mostly organic – you will be rewarded with healthy, chemical-free garden produce.
Don’t waste all your money on buying insecticides, buy new plants instead. I may not know everything about gardening, but I do know what I want, and have a good notion of what constitutes building a thriving ‘organic’ garden. An organic garden is a healthy garden, nurtured and developed in a timely fashion, no unnatural shortcuts allowed!
