Organic Gardening Supplies – Two Sources That You Can Use

One of the most important features of a successful organic garden is to know the list of organic gardening supplies that you will need. This is important because these tools can help you in to grow healthy crops quicker.

Apart from regular care and proper checking, having the right organic gardening supplies would ensure that you would have a successful and healthy garden. Experts say that knowing what you need and have them readily available would reduce the time that you would have to spend in taking care of your crops. This will also ensure that you will have fun in watching every development in your organic garden.

In this post I will give you two of the most important organic gardening supplies that you need for your organic garden:

1. Water. This is important because this will serve as the secondary lifeline of your plants. Having enough supply of water nearby is important because you will never know when the plant would need some of it. Although there is scheduled time to water the plants, it is always best to have enough supply of water just in case you or somebody forgets to water the plants on time.

2. Soil. This is considered as a lifeline of any plant in any organic garden because this is where all the nutrients are drawn. Although you don’t need so much soil if you only have a few of pots and trays, it is best to have an extra supply of soil. Clay soil is the best, as it has the capacity to hold water better—just in case accidental dropping of containers happens. Having extra supply of soil can also make it possible for you to make another organic garden.

Organic Gardening Compost - Creating Cold Compost

The difference between cold and hot compost is that cold compost is easier to make than hot compost, which takes more effort.

Cold compost can be done by simply gathering wastes from your own backyard or garden, it can consist of leaves, grass clippings and weeds, which is then pile up. Allow a period of about six to twenty-four months for earthworms and other micro-organisms to break down the organic matter. While waiting, you can add further materials to your organic pile. In this situation, the organic matter at the bottom decays first.

As well as the long wait, this compost is not as effective as the hot compost. It cannot kill weeds and pathogens. Another thing before using cold compost, you should screen out any materials that have not fully decayed from the organic pile.

Organic Gardening Compost - Creating Hot Compost

The first thing that you the gardener should do is to bag fallen leaves. Clipped grass from mowed surfaces can also be place in the bag.

You now need to add oxygen and enough water so to dampen the leaves systematically. To do this put several holes near the bag's top and at its bottom. The holes will also let the carbon dioxide out and excess water as well. Pour in about two shovelfuls of garden soil into the bag where the leaves are, then shake it to mix the contents. Or if not possible, just roll the bag thoroughly.

Mixing the leaves should be done regularly, perhaps every other week. To avoid the leaves from drying out, examine them and if necessary mix some water with the leaves so to keep them moist. In roughly two or three months, your compost should be ready. The contents of the bag that look like dark and flaky stuff is your compost.

To use that dark and flaky stuff as a fertilizer for your plants, put an inch thick layer on the soil's top layer. That will then be absorbed by the plants. It acts as fertilizer and at the same time pesticide and can even prevent weeds from growing. It also contributes in conserving
water, as your plants won't need as much.

If you wish to speed up the above process, you can also try shredding the leaves first before bagging them.

Organic Gardening Compost - The Materials

Farmers who wish to plant using a more holistic method are turning away from applying synthetic fertilizers in favor of organic gardening compost.

By their use of organic gardening farmers are returning to a more basic way of growing plants and trees, instead working against nature they are working with nature. No longer do they now use artificial fertilizers and commercially available pesticides, but instead put their faith in the natural environment to enable them to grow produce.

Organic compost itself is made up of decaying plants, animal manure or other organic materials that is being used as fertilizer. While nature can work on the organic compost itself, humans can quicken this process by using the equation air plus water, carbon, then nitrogen which is equal to compost.

Though the above equation might look a little daunting don’t be intimidate by it. This can actually be done in a simple and step-by-step ways.

The Organic Vegetable Gardening Method – Pest Management

In any gardens, especially in organic ones, disease control and pest management are always issues. At times, the problems might be so overwhelming that you see yourself edging towards the chemical insecticide or weedkiller solution in your garden shed. If you are at all serious about cultivating an organic vegetable garden you need to get rid of these chemical insecticide or weedkiller solutions. Make sure you do it in an environmentally save way. I mean you’re not supposed to have all that chemical stuff in the first place, are you? There are natural and safe ways for you to solve your weed and pest problems so relax.

To avoid diseases it would be a good idea to check the seeds from the start. Get vegetables from resistant variety strains or seeds from disease-free plants. While some organic farmers might resort to sprays or solutions which are 100% of natural and friendly to the environment others would fight fire with fire or in this case, insects with insects. Organic garden growers usually practice introducing natural predators into their gardens to help control pests.

If you still find these ineffective, try using the low tech but effective method: use your hands. You can pick off the pests in your vegetable garden. You only have a problem if you have a big garden.

Organic vegetable gardening brings its own rewards. The fresh air, the sunshine, and the experience alone are worthwhile. And this does not include the fresh vegetables you can get from your harvest.

Composting is a significant ingredient in any organic garden. Ideally a compost pile should occupy an area of roughly ten square feet. Avoid the compost height becoming too high. Try to preserve the compost pile between 3 to 5 feet high. Make sure also to leave the top flat with a small catch basin on the middle for adding water or rain into the compost pile.

To add the compost into the soil, you can either work it into the soil or use it as a mulch and spread it on the surface. The first method would provide nourishment to your vegetables plus a good, mature compost will lessen weed problems. As a mulch, the nutrients will eventually be integrated into the soil supplying nutrients along the way.
