There are lots of natural ways that you can grow a healthy, organic garden. You just need to learn what you can do, and then do it.

Making beds is one of the most important skills you need to acquire. To begin your bed, slice under the grass with a spade. After doing this, you will need to turn it upside down, then cover it with wood chips, about three to four inches worth. Later, once the chips have decayed somewhat, you can begin to plant in the bed.

In the past, organic garden was viewed as a passing fancy. Today, however, we know that it is much more than that. The Indians showed pilgrims that if they put some fish on the seeds after planting, they would grow better. Consider making your own compost pile as a means of making your own fertilizer. This will reduce your garbage production, reuse old refuse and recycle your fertilizer, leading to a more abundant garden.

When you eat fresh vegetables, take the excess and chop them finely, then add them into your garden. When you do this your veggies will decay quickly, and they will also leech some important nutrients into any of the plants you happen to be growing at the time. If you do not wish to add the vegetables directly to your soil, add them to your compost pile.

The healthier the soil the healthier your plants are, and when they are healthy they become that much more resistant to insects and disease. Insect will still likely inflict some damage, but your healthier plants will be more resistant to it.

A good thing to know when it comes to your organic garden, and running it, is to, a couple times a day, lightly ruffle the seedlings with cardboard or your hand. This sounds like total nonsense, but there is research suggesting that it does promote plant growth relative to unpetted plants.

You should rotate your garden every year. Keeping plants that belong to the same family in the same place can eventually spark fungus growth and disease. These kind of enemies to plants can stay underground ready for the next year to cause harm to your plants. Different plants have different immunities and vulnerabilities. Changing what you plant where will naturally stave off fungus and disease.

Try to avoid letting your organic garden chores build up. If you can't get out in your garden every day, there are still a number of things you can do to keep things from falling into disarray during your absence. For example, if your family is cooking out on the grill, you could clear a few bunches of weeds between checking on the burgers.

Adding a lot of mulch to your garden is a great tip to implement in order to keep your garden healthy. Mulch can give your soil some additional protection and nourishment. On hot days, mulch will also protect your plant's roots by keeping them moist and cool. Since it decreases the rate at which moisture evaporates, the soil also stays more moist. It will also serve as a method of controlling unwanted weeds.

Now that you've read this article, you can see that there is much more to do with organic gardening than meets the eye. Organic gardens require much patience and hard work, but you can have a wonderfully beautiful organic garden. By following the above tips, you are well on your way to increasing your organic gardening skills.
