Gardening is a good hobby, and it is extremely rewarding. Organic
gardening is something you can do even if you do not have a lot of space
to plant. You can have a small organic window garden on the 15th floor
of a building or a small backyard garden if you have space behind your
house. The possibilities are many, and the results are rewarding. If you
are living in a high rise building, you can have a small organic window
garden in a small wooden box, and you can plant some fresh herbs for
your kitchen. Here are a couple of tips you can use to maintain your
organic garden.
Natural Nourishment for Plants
Most soils have sufficient natural nutrients to help your plant grow. However, you can use organic compost to help them grow faster and produce better crops. If you need to use fertilizers, make sure you use natural fertilizers. Manure from plant-eating animals like chicken, horses, rabbits, cattle and sheep are great for plants.
Plant Rotation
It is important to make sure you do not plant the same vegetables in the same place every year. The disease can build up and destroy your plants. You can change the type of vegetable you plant, and also maintain a different variety each season.
Use Mulch
Use mulch as a top layer (one or two inches) over the soil to keep weeds away, and to prevent fungal disease spores from getting onto plant leaves. If you can use mulch made from organic materials such as cocoa hulls it will decompose and add organic material to the soil.
