Stay strictly organic My gardening secret is hardly a secret at all. I loudly and proudly proclaim it to anyone who will listen: I am an organic gardener. Most people are amazed at the quality and abundance of my produce. All of this is accomplished without pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. There are many reasons to garden organically. First, it is very cost effective. Because my organic kitchen and yard waste is composted to provide nutrients for enriching my soil, I don’t have to purchase costly fertilizers or other amendments. Herbicides and pesticides are also products I need not buy. Second, my husband and I are able to eat food that is free from chemicals and toxins. Last, my gardening does not negatively impact the environment. Since we live on a creek near the Neuse River, this is of critical importance. I have gardened organically for over 30 years. It’s the only gardening technique I’d ever use. Paula Kology |
