   Organic Gardening

Many gardeners wonder what exactly organic gardening means. The simple answer is that organic gardeners don't use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on their plants. An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish any resources the garden consumes.

The two largest parts of organic gardening regards Soil Fertility which can be achieved easily through Composting, and Pest Control.
