	Organic gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Organic gardening is a form of gardening that uses substantial diversity in pest control to reduce the use of pesticides and tries to provide as much fertility with local sources of nutrients rather than purchased fertilizers.
		Organic gardeners emphasise the concept that "the soil feeds the plant".
		For the organic grower, unwanted plants (or weeds) are suppressed without the use of herbicides.

	Organic Vegetable Gardening basics
		The organic gardener prefers to use natural and organic materials and methods, and avoids using practices and synthetic chemicals that may be detrimental to his health or environment.
		Since organic fertilizer and soil conditioning materials are slow working in general, they should be mixed into the soil at least three weeks ahead of planting and the soil thoroughly prepared for the seed or transplants.
		A major basis for organic gardening is the use of abundant quantities of organic material applied to the soil.

	Digging Into Organic Gardening On-line
		Organic gardening is continually gaining supporters as Americans strive to improve their overall health and lifestyle.
		Organic gardening can be defined as a philosophy that stresses the use of naturally occurring substances and friendly predators, and avoiding man-made chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
		One of the by-products of organic gardening is reduced pollution of the environment through recycling of garden, household and other wastes rather than dumping or burning them.

		Precisely defined, composting means 'enhancing the consumption of crude organic matter by a complex ecology of biological decomposition organisms.' As raw organic materials are eaten and re-eaten by many, many tiny organisms from bacteria (the smallest) to earthworms (the largest), their components are gradually altered and recombined.
		The entire sum of all this organic matter: living plants, decomposing plant materials, and all the animals, living or dead, large and small is sometimes called _biomass._ One realistic way to gauge the fertility of any particular soil body is to weigh the amount of biomass it sustains.
		Organic substances chemically unite with soil to form clay/humus complexes that are quite resistant to further decomposition and have an extraordinarily high ability to hold and release the very nutrients and water that feed plants.

		The Garden Design -- Many gardeners find it helpful to draw out on paper the location of each row and the crop or succession of crops to be planted.

		Organic gardening is more a philosophy than as a set of techniques.
		And when a gardener, organic or otherwise, focuses on the plant, they inevitably begin to think about what the plant needs.
		An organic fertilizer is one that is made from natrual ingredients, such as manure, compost, bone meal, blood meal, etc. And although nitrogen is nitrogen, whether it comes from a horse or a bag of 10-10-10, the latter contains no organic matter.
