Introduction to Organic Gardening
What Actually Is Organic Gardening?
Simply put, organic gardening is a unique way to plant flowers, fruits, and vegetables without using any chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, and other synthetic products that could harm these plants. Ideally, making your garden organic can replenish the resources while using them.
In addition, rather than using artificial products for fertilization of soil, organic gardening requires the use of organic matter, i.e. dried leaves, compost, kitchen scraps, animal waste, and grass clipping. This is how you can feed the soil naturally. When the soil is fed naturally, it feeds the plants the same way.

Remember that it all comes with practice. So, take your time, and keep applying useful tips to make your organic garden.
Organic Gardening The Guidelines
Who doesnt like eating chemical-free fruits and vegetables that came right from their own garden? Serve these to your guests and they will love them too! However, many people believe that organic gardening is not something everyone can do. In reality, it is actually the opposite, i.e. anyone can do this easily. If you have the passion and willingness to plant organically, all you need to know is how to do it.
Here are the basic step-by-step guidelines to help you become a great organic gardener:
Select Your Plot
Plan where you want to set up your organic garden. You have endless options if you have around fifty acres of land. However, this is definitely not possible for everyone. So, having even a small backyard garden in your house will be the perfect place to begin with organic gardening. Choosing one of the following options will help you select the plot that is best for you:
The Ground
If you do not want to spend money on buying containers or soil, then you have an even better option, i.e. the ground. Growing plants directly on the ground will provide them the benefit of natural organisms. This will help your organic garden thrive for a longer period of time. Since earthworms already exist in the ground, they contribute well to the plants growth by breaking down other plant and animal matter into essential nutrients. In addition, they will aerate the soil.
Obviously, ground-growing will require you to put maximum efforts into it, but it is actually worth it because you can apply different gardening techniques in this healthier soil, even for years.
How to Choose the Right Type of Ground
If you have selected your backyard as the ground to start off with organic gardening, then you must know a few things before moving further. First of all, choose the soil that comprises of sand, clay, silt, and compost. However, most backyards do not contain an equal ratio of these elements. To ensure that you begin with the right kind of ground, use a shovel after clearing out the grass. Now, turn the soil to mix it well throughout the ground.
