    Take the time to research the variety of all-natural methods that can hep your organic garden flourish. All you need to do is find out what they are, and then use them.

    To mulch, trees and flowers, use a minimum of three inches of organic material. This aids in environmental conservation and also saves you serious money on water each month. It also has the added benefit of visual appeal.

    Water based on the current climate and the season. The level of necessary watering turns on the type of water you use, the kind of soil in your garden and the amount of direct sunlight you have. As an example, leaves should not be watered in humid, warm climates else leaf fungus could occur. Instead focus on watering the root system.

    Get your organic garden certified so you can credibly claim that your crops are organic. Having certification will increase your sales and verify to your customers that what you are selling is the best produce available.

    Your children can help you with your garden. Toiling together in the garden brings your family closer together and offers many different opportunities to learn new things and instill green values.

    If you've spent even a little time gardening, you're probably well aware of how beneficial compost can be, but how much do you know about what it contains? It is made from a variety of items, including wood chips, bits of produce, twigs, straw, grass clippings, and leaves, all of which have decomposed into a sort of soil. Compost adds nutrients to your soil without the dangers of commercial fertilizers.

    Make your organic garden easier to maintain. Use native grass, plants and bushes. If you opt for native plants that work well with your climate and soil, you will be less likely to need expensive fertilizers and pesticides. In fact, native species typically grow best when fertilized with organically produced compost.

    Be particular when selecting the plants you will include in the organic garden. Even within the family of a specific flower or vegetable, the different varieties available have differing environmental requirements. For instance, there are many kinds of roses and some will work in your garden, while others won't. When choosing varieties, take into account not only your climate region, but also the specific planting environment, such as full sun, in boggy soil, etc.

    For your flower beds, organic material should be used as mulch. Two or three inches should be enough. By doing this, you can lock in moisture, discourage weed growth, and nourish your plants. Also, the flower beds will look beautifully maintained at all times.

    Grow crops that are high-value. Each person is going to think the value of any given plant is different. Growing plants organically is much more affordable than always purchasing them from the grocery store; over time, the savings will definitely add up. So, plant things that you love and enjoy their results.

    To create your own low cost compost, use uneaten fruit peelings and flesh. These items will decompose and create a rich compost your plants will benefit for at no cost.

    If aphids are a problem in your organic garden, then good "old-fashioned" soapy water may be just the trick to solve your dilemma. Make a solution of water and mild dish washing liquid, and spray the whole plant, covering the stems, leaves and buds. Wash the solution off with a light hosing of clear water.

    Use the advice here to start your own organic garden. It is an interesting hobby and one that can improve your health. Your foods will taste better and not contain the heavy chemicals of store bought produce. You should notice more wildlife present in your garden if you use natural methods.
