If you are a keen gardener and supporter of eco-friendly principles, you may want to try your hand at organic horticulture. This kind of gardening is designed so that it works with the seasons and makes use only of natural methods of pest control and soil preparation.
To begin with, you will want to ensure that the ground if adequately prepared. Find the right piece of land for your organic garden. You might like to devote a section of your current garden for these purposes; choose an area that catches plenty of sun if you can, even if this means shifting your garden furniture to a new location.
Next, you will want to clear the ground. This should happen twice; once to level the earth and remove stones and rocks, and once again after the first regrowth of weeds has come through. Getting rid of these now will prevent problems in the long run.
Add organic fertilisers to your soil and cover with a blanket of organic mulch. You can purchase this kind of product from your local garden centre but you might also like to have a go at making your own.
Once you have prepared the soil you can begin to think about planting. Remember to research this part of the process thoroughly; the wrong vegetation will be difficult to cultivate.
