Using Raised Bed Frames

The raised bed frame sits atop the ground. You then fill it with virgin soil and soil amendments. You control what goes into it..... natural organic soil and materials. Gardeners with raised bed frames, will often empty the soil each fall and replenish it with fresh, rich, natural ingredients for great gardens every year. They are a simple and clean way to garden. Raised beds are easy to work with and are great for small herb gardens and such.

"Where can i buy organic seeds?"

Organic seeds are actually more common than you might think. Although you won't find them in many large stores, they can be easily found online. I found a great website that sells many organic seeds and fertilizers through www.gardenersnet.com. You can find many seeds online for a very reasonable price. Google organic seeds and you will surely find what you need!

How Organic Produce Gets to Your Table

It begins with seeds used in organic gardening. The seeds must be certified organic. Genetic defects can be carried in the seeds. Only certified organic seeds are allowed for use in growing organic produce destined for the marketplace.

Farmers must comply with all rules and regulations. There is a National List of what can be used and not used in growing organic produce. Farmers must strictly follow all rules and regulations.

Even shippers, handlers and grocery stores must follow rules and regulations established by the USDA, to assure that the organic vegetables and herbs you purchase are indeed organic in every way.

The effort by all involved, is more intensive and tedious. It results in a somewhat higher price at the grocery store or market. But, the comfort and safety of eating organically, is well worth the extra cost.

Organic Fertilizers

Anyone out there wanting to start an organic garden (great idea!) but you will need to consider what you will be using for fertilizer. It is very common for organic gardens to use manure for fertilizing, but there are many other options for those who dont want to play with a bunch of crap!
but if you wanna use manure b/c it does work great here are ideas:

1) manure tea (Please dont drink this tea) is very common and a great way to water your plants! simply soak manure in water and use the water for plants. I would recommend rabbit manure. Soak it in a bucket over night and use the water to water your plants the next day.



















2)make a compost! composting is a great way to fertilize and its cheap. you can either make a pile or buy a tumbler from a nursery or other manufacturer. If you do a pile it should be contained in bricks and covered to keep heat in and rain out. Composting involves mixing manure along with kitchen scraps (eggshells are great) and grass clippings, or any other organic material. Mix them all together and they will breakdown to form great fertilizer. The mix will get really hot while breaking down so be careful, it can start fires. If you do a pile it also helps to cover it with a layer of soil and add some water, this speeds the process. If you want to stay clean a bin is great and keeps the process very clean and easy.

and if you dont want the crap......

Organic vs Conventional

What are the differences between the two?



Conventional farmers

1. Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth.


2. Spray insecticides to reduce pests and disease.


3. Use chemical herbicides to manage weeds.


4. Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and spur growth.

Organic farmers

1. Apply natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost, to feed soil and plants.


2. Use beneficial insects and birds, mating disruption or traps to reduce pests and disease.


3. Rotate crops, till, hand weed or mulch to manage weeds.


4. Give animals organic feed and allow them access to the outdoors.


5. Use preventive measures — such as rotational grazing, a balanced diet and clean housing — to help minimize disease.

Products that are organic commonly have a USDA Organic label. The product must be at least 95% organic for this. These products do tend to be more expensive, but they are healthier and taste better. They are deffinately worth it and an organic garden is a way to save money if they arent affordable. Try them though, you'll be glad you did!

Get your organic garden!

Gardening is work, but doing it organically, even harder. Organic gardening is becoming more and more common as the knowledge of organics grows. More and more people are learning how healthy organic foods are and they cant afford to buy all of them. Organic food is EXPENSIVE, many times its twice the price of conventional foods. So starting your own small organic garden is a GREAT idea.
