Organic gardening, also called organic horticulture, is the art of planting and nurturing fruits, vegetables, and flowers with natural materials derived from plants, animals, and minerals. It is growing plants without chemicals or synthetic pesticides. Some techniques and tips you can use in your gardening include the following.

Get a variety of plants best suited for the weather in your environment and your gardening space. Also, get a row cover to protect your plants from harsh weather and keep out pests. You can let the row cover hang loosely over the plants or hold it down with stones or bags of sand.

Furthermore, don’t till your soil or dig large holes in your garden. It can damage the soil structure. Use mulches to help reduce the growth of weeds and retain soil moisture. Plants grown in an organic garden need nurturing and care to grow lush and healthy.
