I’m starting an organic tomato garden and with so many different options, I wanted to make sure that I’m only using products that are in fact organic. I understand that only food and fiber require certification, but what about gardening products?
I’ve noticed little holes in my broccoli leaves, silver beet and beetroot leaves and spinach leaves. Luckily the plants have survived the attack and are all growing well but the unsightly holes they’ve left makes my garden look feral!
I would like to know if there are any natural/organic remedies to stop them from feeding off all my hard work.
(I was told lemon juice drives them away but as far as I know it’s only hearsay).
nectar, pistil, stamen, it’s tender leaves began to unfurl she plunged her hands into the dark, moist, fertile soil seeds sprouting, organic shapes and smells, etc
found some red little bugs kinda looked like an baby lady bug in my veggi garden need a good resource I am an organic gardener so please no bug spray advise…..
Some volunteers built a small raised-bed garden for our low-income apartment building. The soil looks like pretty good sandy loam, at least a foot deep, but short on nutrients and with NO organic matter whatsoever, and NO worms (or any other living beasties, as far as I can tell.) We’ll buy some organic additives before we plant, but I would like to get some worms in as soon as possible. I’d like to set up a worm farm. but we already have trouble with rats, and we don’t want more!
What is the absolutely cheapest set-up for a worm bin, that will be secure from rats? Do you have a persuasive argument for keeping it inside, that would work on staff worried about hygiene and odor?
I am starting my first veg. garden and would like organic heirloom seeds. Where should I buy them?
gardeners here use Organic methods or Pesticides? Or use a combination of both in your yard and garden. Why do you choose this method?
I’m an author and I am in the middle of writing another book. This will help me in gathering more information for one of my chapters on plants and diseases.
Thank-you in advance for your answer.
To: Wisest person alive… What are the pest and diseases that you find difficult to deal with? Thanks so much!

I know toads are good for the garden, etc., but the pond is right outside my bedroom window . In early spring their singing can be pretty LOUD and goes on ALL NIGHT. Some organic way to repel them?
