means. The simple answer is that organic gardeners don't
use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on their plants. But
gardening organically is much more than what you don't do.
When you garden organically, you think of your plants
as part of a whole system within nature that starts in the
soil and includes the water supply, people, wildlife and even insects.
An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with
natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish
any resources the garden consumes.

You use animal waste, kitchen scraps, and vegetable waste
to mulch and compost. You will use common household
items like vinegar and soap to prevent pests and weeds.
Organic growers rely on developing a healthy, fertile
soil and growing a mixture of crops. Genetically modified
(GM) crops and ingredients are not allowed under organic
standards.
Organic gardening is the merging together of plants
and soil allowing the Earth to naturally bear what it was
made to do. The plants and the soil are one working
together to provide food and nourishment not only to
humans but to animals and organisms as well.
It’s not a new age science. It’s actually quite simple
and can be satisfying to the soul !
