Resources to support your organic garden.
What is organic gardening? Organic gardeners support the health of their plants by creating and maintaining a living soil that contains a diverse community of underground micro-organisms and other tiny life forms. Spraying “products” to control pests and diseases is the last option for solving garden problems, even if an organic-approved product is available.
Fertilizers in an organic garden consist mostly of ground-up tissues (seed meals, kelp meal, for example) and rock powders. Nutrients from these are made available to plants through the action of those micro-organisms — bacteria, funguses, actinomycetes, and more — that live in the soil.
Managing an organic garden can be a wonderful experience, but here in the Southern U.S. there can also be a bit of a learning curve. The eventual goal of this website is to flatten that curve, providing information that can help you create a vibrant, productive garden.
If there is a resource or information you need, let me know by sending a note through the Contact page so I can put your topic at the top of the list of resources to create.
