Take Your Garden by drugs

Why Organic?

When we speak of 'organic' environment we are talking about a method of working with natural products and nature to improve the soil e. As you know, the environment is in danger and we must adapt our way of heating to compensate for nature and gardening in the world. Man-made fertilizers and pesticides have been cited as the two main soil contamination in several countries.

How can we stop our dependence on these synthetic substances?We need to build soil health, so that plants will be stronger and more resistant to pests and diseases.

The soil is balanced, said that 25% of air, have 25% water, minerals 45% and 5% of humus and living organisms. The other component of the soil is made up of small particles of rock that made its structure.

When I walk in my garden, my goal is to transform an unhealthy imbalance in the soil, usually has a staff of components is poor, lack of air and is chemically and turn it in styleof land that sustains my plants and help them grow, which means that I need to provide essential nutrients and then let nature takes course.

I never thought that I had problems with field surveys seemed a waste of time for me, but now I know much smarter and got to know the importance of what my land is to be made. This allows me to know what plants to buy waste, save money for facilities that do not survive, and also allows me to change the soil, provide a goodsolid base for growing plants. A soil test will tell you how much organic matter, minerals and earth elements are in yours. Here are the PH levels and other chemicals. We recommend that you test your soil every year, and the sample from the same area instead.

The sampling of soil is much more common today, and you can in your local phone book, companies that offer this service to find. Soil also needs air, soil compaction is little space to allow airpenetrate. Turn to loosen the soil with a fork or tiller. If you have the test results of the soil, it's time, the mineral content of the soil in balance. This means that the right kind of fertilizer, phosphate rock are trying to achieve the right balance.

Now it is also necessary to consider the power of living organisms in the soil (you know who lived there?). The best way to do this is to compost, organic matter stimulates the worms with this (yes, they livealso there!) to produce more humus and nutrients to the soil. If you die, you turn to rotting food and other organisms. The result of all this attention is that the soil is rich in nutrients available for plants.

You need at least an inch of finished compost on good ground or three inches of compost in part to very poor soil and mix in the first six inches or so to apply.

Mother Nature provides litter and plant debris, theseDebris is food for earthworms and other organisms. Also keeps the moisture in the soil, prevent soil erosion and shielded from the drying sun and wind. Place three inches on fifty-seven mulch beds and around plants to protect the floor.

To prevent decay, it is necessary to keep the mulch about three fifty-seven cm away from the trunks of trees or plants.

Please do not use insecticides or pesticides, toxins only help the good organisms that killtrying to promote. In a subsequent newsletter will give you some simple "do at home, recipes for easy-care facilities, which allow you to take care of the problems of many plants without chemicals.

Like any piece of land starts to grow healthy plants that attract wild animals looking for a place to live, eat and reproduce. With organic gardening, we can help stop the cycle of life goes to the benefit of future generations.
