Because of the huge benefits of growing an organic garden, more and more people are growing their own. Obviously, it’s a rewarding and satisfying experience and one that is worth investing your time and money in.

Benefits of Growing Your Organic Garden

Health Benefits
There is a long list of benefits to your health which you will enjoy when you grow your own organic garden. Because you are able to watch your garden from planting to harvesting, you will be able to prevent the use of chemicals in your garden. Without using chemicals in your garden, you are making sure that you eat only all-natural produce.

Environmental Benefits
Abstaining from using chemicals when you’re growing your organic garden also helps protect the environment. Chemicals that are normally used to kill insects and weeds are also introduced into the soil. These chemicals can also end up harming other plants and insects. When you don’t use chemicals, you aren’t harming the environment at all.

Tips On Organic Gardening

Organic gardening might seem difficult at first. Here are a few tips that you can follow to make your organic gardening experience easy and enjoyable.

1). Use Natural Pesticides
Manually ridding your garden of pesticides is both tedious and time consuming, which is why you should be using natural pesticides. Some insects are considered beneficial to your organic garden and can be considered natural pesticides, like ladybugs, lacewings, and nematodes.

2). Controlling Pests Naturally
You can also control pests by eliminating them before they proliferate in your organic garden. Clear the surroundings so there are less places for pests to grow; grow a nearby secondary garden which will attract beneficial insects; pull out weeds and other sickly plants as these too might attract pests; and you can also make your own homemade remedies to get rid of pests.

3). Buy Organic Seeds
Buying organic seeds online is an easy way to get your hands on some quality seeds. It’s also a great way to help these companies out. You can also meet up with other growers in your area. Long-time organic gardeners can provide you with great organic seeds as well as some expert tips on how to care for your organic garden.

4). Read Books on Organic Gardening
Knowing more about organic gardening and finding out more about other people’s experiences is also another great way to increase your own knowledge of organic gardening. These books and magazines on organic gardening are a great source of such information. Whether it’s digital in format or the traditional hardbound or softbound there are a lot of ways that you can get your hands on these informative reading materials.

5). Use Heirloom Seeds For Your Organic Garden
