Garden the Organic Way

Why Organic?
Organic gardening is popularly thought of as growing things without the use of synthetic fertilizers or chemicals such as pesticides. The USDA adds bioengineering and ionizing radiation to that definition. Actually, the concept of organic gardening is much greater than this, encompassing the ideas of being in harmony with nature and recognizing the interconnectedness of all species both plant and animal. Before WWII, all gardening was “organic” because there were no chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to poison our food or the environment. Since that time their prevalence has resulted in the need to go back to the soil, clean it, and grow food without any artificial aids.
