Organic Gardening Tips for Beginners

In summary, organic gardening is a method of growing plants and vegetables without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is important for beginners because it is sustainable, environmentally friendly, and promotes healthier eating habits. To start an organic garden, you need to prepare the soil, choose suitable plants, and use natural and organic methods for watering and fertilizing. Pests can be controlled through handpicking, beneficial insects, barriers, and organic pesticides. Even in a small space, a successful organic garden can be achieved through container gardening, vertical techniques, and using smaller plants and organic products.
