Many people think that organic gardening is simply gardening without the use of chemicals. While this is an extremely important factor, Organic Gardening is, to put it simply, gardening with nature.
While it can be difficult to be a true organic gardener, as there are many factors which are outwith our control, e.g. farm yard manure from animals which have been farmed using chemicals, this does not mean we shouldn't try!
The use of organic fertiliser not only nourishes the plants but, more importantly, improves the structure of the soil which chemical forms don't. Certain insects, birds and animals should be encouraged into the garden to provide a natural control of the majority of garden pests and to create a more attractive and investing environment for all to enjoy.
The aim of this information is to increase awareness of ecological issues, to show that with a little thought everyone can take a few steps toward organic gardening. By eliminating the use of chemicals and reducing the use of motorised equipment in our garden, so we improve both our local and global environment.
