A great way to assure a successful organic garden year after year is to keep a gardening journal. You simply need to jot down what vegetables do well and those that don't, as well as certain pests or other issues that your garden runs into. By doing this, you'll know what to change or keep the same the following year, resulting in a gorgeous organic garden.

An organic alternative to chemical fertilizer is compost. You can make your own compost by using fruits, vegetables and other organic wastes from your home. Compost gives your soil the nutrients it needs and improves its structure.

When growing your own organic tomatoes you should always alternate the tomato bed. The reason is because this will reduce the tomatoes' risk of catching soil borne diseases like early blight and bacterial spot. These particular diseases can destroy your tomato plants, so you need to lower the risk of your tomatoes catching them as much as possible.

Know your soil. Before you being planning and planting your garden, be sure to test the pH of the soil. The acidity or alkalinity of the soil has a huge impact on the types of crops that can be successful on the plot. Take readings from several different areas of the garden as pH can differ from spot to spot. Adjust the soil or your plants as necessary based on what you find.

Use your coffee grinds in your garden if you are an organic gardener and coffee lover! You can use coffee grounds to make a perfect mulch with just the right amount of acids. It is a wonderful way to compost in an environmentally friendly way.

A great tip when starting your own organic garden is to always space your seeds in the mix as evenly as you can. If you do this, it will ensure that every single one of your seeds has an equal amount of room to grow in the most optimum way.

Pull wild morning glory by hand. While some gardeners treat morning glory with a chemical, the best way to remove it is by pulling it out by hand. Start this early in the season, and also try to dig the roots out. Remember that morning glory seeds can remain dormant in the soil for 50 years or more, so never let the plant go to seed. If you do, you will be stuck with an infestation the following year.

Use milk jugs to keep your plant's roots moist for hours. Punch a small hole in the bottom of a milk jug. You'll have to experiment to get the right sized hole but fill the jug with water and, leaving the lid off or only loosely screwed on, sit it beside the plant that you want to water. The jug will slowly drip water for hours.

In conclusion, you want to grow an organic garden because you know what is good for you and the environment, in general. This article provided many ways that you can make the most out of your gardening experience and hopefully, you learned more than one thing that will benefit you.
