Organic gardening supply companies can help you to create a fantastic organic garden. They can provide the supplies required to get you started quickly or to help you maintain your organic garden.

There are many elements to organic gardening but if you follow the basics then you can easily grow delicious fruit and vegetables and attractive flowers and plants.

The basics of a successful organic garden are:

• Good quality soil
• Crop rotation
• Companion planting
• Organic pest control

Good quality soil can be obtained by consistently adding organic matter to the soil. This can be in the form of mulch, well rotted animal manure, organic compost, or worm castings. You can build up your soil over time or buy organic soil from an organic gardening supply company or your local garden centre.

Crop rotation is important in the vegetable garden as it helps to reduce pests and diseases and prevent the depletion of nutrients and minerals in the soil. The idea is to plant vegetables with the same nutritional and water requirements in the same bed and then move them to a new bed the following year. The nutrients left behind will be of benefit to the next group of plants, which require different nutrients, and they won’t be affected by any diseases left behind as those diseases were targeted at the previous group of veges.

Companion planting is used to attract beneficial insects which feed on insect pests, to attract bees to help with pollination, and to attract birds which both feed on insects and pollinate plants. Companion plants also control pests due to their aroma.

Organic pest control If you have good quality soil and practice crop rotation then you will have healthy plants which will be more resistant to diseases and pests. Some organic pest control products are on the market which can be found at all organic gardening suppliers.
