Organic Garden Corner

Organic Gardening

Hi, and welcome to my corner of the world of organic gardening. It is in this corner where the magic of organic agriculture and sustainable growing meet. Growing food organically is rewarding enough, just knowing the food you grow and eat is the best nutritionally for you and your family. The added reward is knowing you aren’t contaminating your food or your world with more of the bad chemicals and stuff than is already out there.

Your organic garden, be it large or small, focuses on the health of the soil and the natural tools and methods handed down for generations for centuries. No matter what you plant, replenishing the soil is the foundation of your organically grown garden. Before too long, you’ll probably wish that I would just shut up about compost and mulch.

If you’ve watched any news at all this year, you know that one of most notable effects of skyrocketing oil prices is that so many people decided to grow at least some of their own food. The result was that seed sales were higher than ever before. Why do I think that the price at the pump, and all the other related price increases we’ve seen this past year aren’t going away anytime soon, if at all?

I’ll bet a record number of people are already thinking “garden in 2009″. Unfortunately, a few generations of precious little individual gardening has left a big gap in even the most basic information a would-be gardener might have. I hope to help fill that gap with information you can use to create your organically grown food.

If this is your first venture into gardening (or even if it’s not) check out www.gardenbasicsguide.com for some good general information about home gardening. Then come back to this corner for the “secrets” of gardening with nature, not inspite of it.

Because we all, and always, learn from each other, I invite comments and suggestions. If something worked for you, tell the world about it. If you’re stuck, ask and find answers right here.

Do grow at least some of your own food (and herbs and flowers too). And, grow it all organically!!!
