Organic gardening is becoming quite popular these days. Many people who are health conscious are now switching to organic food thus the demand for organic products is increasing. If you are one of those people who live in the countryside and you are interesting in growing your own food, you may want to engage in organic backyard gardening and produce your own organic vegetables. No, it is not difficult to start an organic garden at home. If you have the right organic gardening supply, you can already start growing your own food. To help you choose the right organic gardening supply, here are some organic gardening tips for you.
Compost is one of the most important organic gardening supplies that you will need for your garden. You can either buy compost from an organic gardening supply store or make your own compost. Buying compost from an organic gardening supply store is very convenient but it can be a bit costly for you in the long run. To save some money, you should make your own compost. You can use kitchen leftovers and other biodegradable waste materials from your home to make compost. Put these biodegradable materials into an airtight bin and leave it there for a few months until the waste materials inside the bin have turned into soil. Make sure that the lid on the bin is tight to avoid smells. You don't really want your home to stink. Besides, the stink from rotting kitchen by products can attract certain types of insects like flies and cockroaches so make sure that you cover your garbage bin tightly.
If you aren’t squeamish about worms, you may use worms to decompose your biodegradable materials. The good thing about using worms when composting is that it only takes a few weeks before your waste materials turn into organic soil conditioner. A lot of companies that are selling organic gardening supplies use worms to decompose biodegradable materials.
You need to make your organic garden a pest free zone. To do this, you need to make sure that your garden is clean. When watering your plants, do it during the day. Try to keep your garden as dry as possible during the night. Insects love to dwell on wet surfaces especially at night. What if insects still intrude into your garden even if it's clean, what should you do? To get rid of infestations, go to your favorite organic gardening supply store and ask for organic pest control agents.
