An Overview of Organic Gardening

by WMMedia

Organic gradening is also known as organic horticulture and is
basically the science of growing fruits, vegetables and flowers
by using essential organic elements in the soil. There are
several different types of organic growing or gardening systems.
Organic growing has been based on thousands of years of study and
research and involves a more naturalistic approach to growing
that takes place over a period of time. This is holistic
approach.

Biodynamic farming is an organic approach to growing and is
based on the teaching of Rudolf Steiner. Later the Japanese
writer and farmer, Masanobu Fukuoka invented a no till system for
small scale grain production. This system of organic growing was
Natural Farming.

Those people who follow an organic growing system believe that a
garden is more than a means of providing food. It is felt that a
good garden is a good indicator of what a community could be
like. Everyone could be growing and eating healthy food, be it in
a large scale garden or just a small container in their back
yard. A small garden could sustain your family and provide a
great deal of food.

One major difference between chemical growing and organic
growing is the approach to pest control. In chemical growing,
chemicals are sprayed on the plants or vegetables to get rid of
the pests, essentially killing the pest so that they don't
return.  Organic growers believe in some pest control but they
also take the long approach. They allow for a small amount of
pest damage. They feel that some pests will allow for healthy
growing of the fruit or plant. They take action to fight against
pests but changing the location of their crops each year so the
crop is not infected.

There is a range of growing techniques involved in creating an
organic garden. Many organic growing methods are a combination of
many scientific growing methods and old fashioned farming
methods. The study of organic growing is referred to as
agroecology. Organic farmers are restricted in what they are able
to use to grow their plants. These farmers are permitted to only
use natural pesticides and fertilizers. The principal method of
growing crops organically is crop rotation, green manures and
compost. This also includes biological pest control and
mechanical cultivation.

The amount and type of organic crop that is being grown all
depends on the size of the farm. Farm size also determines the
general approach and specific tools and methods. While the
organic farming industry is growing more and more it wasn't
always big. It first began as a small enterprise. The type of
organic crop that is being grown also determines the size of the
farm that is being planted. For example, if there is a high
demand for a particular type of organic crop then farmers will
plant more of that crop. However, if there is less demand for a
crop smaller amount of this will be planted. Today, the organic
industry is continuing to grow as more and more people are
looking for healthier food choices.
