Lay It Out For Me…

The first step in creating your own organic vegetable garden is location, location, location. You only want to sow where the ground is soft and fertile. It would be a good idea to map out your garden on paper before digging up half of your back yard. You also should begin making a compost heap of grass, leaves, and fruit/veggie peels and remains; this will be very helpful in nurturing both the soil and the organic vegetables, and for warding off pesky pests.

Making sure your garden has the proper amount of sunlight is also important to the successful growth of your organic vegetables. Consider other plants to add around your garden that will provide shade, and may aid in keeping insects at bay. Some gardening experts suggest planting herbs along with your vegetables; this is beneficial for the garden, and for yourself to use in cooking.

Natural fertilizers and pest sprays are available in many organic food stores that do not use any chemicals, so you can still maintain your clean garden. If you have limited space, perhaps window boxes or other types of planters would be an ideal way to grow. Many apartment dwellers have taken to using grow poles and upside down planters for vegetables that grow on vines, like tomatoes. There is plenty of information available through books, magazines, and online to give you tips for creating a beautiful and bountiful organic garden.
