One thing that people don't take advantage of enough, when trying to grow an organic garden, is planting trees. You should plant trees because they can increase in value, plus, they can save energy and money by keeping your house in the shade during the summer and letting light and warmth in your home during the winter.

When taking an organic path to control garden pests, try to build up the soil to allow healthy microbes to flourish. Earthworms are also very important to organic gardening and they should be encouraged to stay in the soil. When the soil is unhealthy, it is not as resistant to pests.

Your plants need to grow in a rich soil. You can buy bags of soil but they can be quite expensive. You can also easily create your own: you need to use perlite, vermiculite and peat in equal quantities. You should also add a small quantity of lime and compost if needed.

While you often just throw your waste organic matter from cooking away, how about composting all of this so you can add it to your garden once it is decomposed into soil with tons of nutrients. This will give your organic garden the boost that it needs to surpass chemical fertilizers!

If you use an open compost pile to mix and build your garden compost material, place it in an area that is not too near your garden. It is best to leave at least six feet of open area between the compost pile and your garden. Planting your garden too close to the compost pile, where it can come in contact with immature compost, can cause your plant roots to be damaged.

Tomatoes make a healthy, productive addition to any organic garden. To get the most out of your tomatoes, make sure you plant them properly: Tomato plants need lots of air and sunlight. You should space your tomato plants with plenty of open air between them, and site them so that they catch at least 10 hours of direct light every day.

Don't use chemicals near a water source. If you have a pond in your garden, or live near a creek or stream, never apply chemicals to plants. They can leach into the soil and make their way into the local water source. Even if you think you are applying the chemical topically, it will make its way into the soil via the roots.

When selecting the best plants for your garden, pick ones that are budding. You should avoid buying plants that are blooming already. That way when you transplant into your garden the plant will spend time growing, and getting accustom to the new environment. Blooms will detract from the plants ability to adapt.

Having an organic garden in your backyard, doesn't mean that you will be constantly tied to it. On the contrary, gardening in an organic way can be more satisfying than any other method, because you are more in tune with nature, and the plants themselves. Use the ideas from this article to see just how easy it can be.
