What is organic gardening?

Organic gardening refers to a gardening practice that prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides, relying instead on natural methods and materials. It focuses on nurturing the health of the soil, plants, insects, and the overall ecosystem. Organic gardeners work in harmony with nature by enriching the soil with compost, manure, and other organic matter to promote soil fertility and structure. They prioritize crop rotation, companion planting, and biological pest control methods to maintain plant health and minimize pests and diseases. Organic gardening also encourages the use of heirloom seeds and the preservation of biodiversity. By fostering a balanced and sustainable environment, it promotes healthier, nutrient-dense, and flavorful crops while minimizing the impact on the environment and human health.
