A collection of tips on how to begin organic gardening makes the perfect starting point for a beginner to emerge and hopefully, begin growing their own organic produce much easier. Below is just such a collection that will hopefully assist the eager novice into eventually becoming a pro when it comes to organic gardening.
A good tip of what to plant in the garden is to plant high-value crops. Value is a subjective term but plant the things that are most costly to buy as long as they are suited to the climate. The whole garden does not have to be devoted to this, but if an area is earmarked for this type of crop, it can save money in the coming season when prices are sky high for certain crops.
The handles of your tools can double as clever rulers. You can use larger tools, like rakes, as measuring sticks. Lay your handles on the floor, and put measuring tape right next to them. Use a permanent marker to label distances. When you decide to work in the garden again, you will now have a ruler at your disposal.
Take the time to know your soil. Get it analysed. This will let you know what is in your soil and in what areas the soil may be deficient. You can then buy the missing nutrients to add into your soil which will help maximize your crops! Many local universities that have agriculture departments have the ability to test your soil for a small fee.
Keep your garden fertilized. Manure can help grow plants, but to eliminate risk of pathogens, try using a type of commercially composted product. Of all the fertilizing options available, it doesn't really matter which one you choose as long as you use something.
When planning your home garden, be sure to choose some crops that are typically costly to purchase from your local grocery store. By doing this, you can end up saving yourself a lot of money, sometimes fifty dollars or more every month, depending on the crop. Plus, you are guaranteed to have the freshest vegetables available!
Hopefully, this collection of tips were enough to give you a great start on what to do and expect when it comes to growing your own organic plants. This collection was carefully constructed to be an aid in your arsenal, so that you can begin to hone your organic gardening skills into growing healthy organic produce.
