Plant an ecological garden at home and enhance your health as well as your food

Continue reading to find out how you can get started on a basic, organic way of life thru grow organic food:

If you've a garden, stop the applying of all pesticides, weed killers, sprays, and fungicides immediately. This could be done without any exceptions.

It's a good idea to start your own food production scheme in a little way. Twenty-five square feet is a great start. Choose an area where sun is available almost year-long. If some of this area gets shaded from the sun for part of the year, that is fine too. Select an area away from fences or buildings since the closeness to other properties might end in contamination of the soil with chemicals, heavy metals, or paint.

If there is debris on the soil in this area, remove it. If plants are growing and you want them transferred some other place, employ a trowel to dig them out and put them in a new location.

Next, use organic materials like fine plant material, dried grass, or leaves to cover the area from non-pesticide gardens.

Use crumbly black soil that's available from under forest trees and spread it thinly all over the garden area. Even better use compost from someone else's garden. This way, you will be putting worms, bugs, and other soil-beneficial life forms into your garden.

Now, with a spade or pick, start mixing the upper three inches of the organic material and soil together. Note that burying the organic material deeper than which will destroy your garden, since the soil and plants won't get enough oxygen to prosper.

Try keeping the soil damp so that the organic material can grow. But don’t let it get limp.

Don't ever walk on the garden soil you have created.

Now the soil is ready, you can start planting your own roots, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

It is a smart idea to start a compost pile in the garden. Take all of the organic materials you'll be able to find and dump them together. Tea and coffee grounds, tea bags, fruit peels, and fruit cores are great for composting. Throw handfuls of dust on top, and then mix all of it with your shovel. Keep the heap damp, but not damp, so that the organic life can flourish. Apply this to the soil once in a while, and your eco-friendly garden will flourish.
