Organic gardeners use compost, companion planting, cultural strategies, mechanical barriers, physical controls, biological controls, and organically acceptable sprays to grow plants without harmful chemicals. When used correctly, organic gardening methods can exceed the efficacy of conventional chemicals in your vegetable, flower, or herb garden. You can enjoy organic gardening all year by applying organic principles to your houseplants, greenhouse, or hydroponic garden.
The benefits of organic gardening extend beyond flora to the fauna in the garden, so learn to attract bees, birds and butterflies to your yard; get kids into the garden; and get pets and wildlife pests out of the garden.
