Blue Eyed Christian Returns! asked:
I live in a town that is full of stray cats and outdoor cats. And my neighbors adopt cats for the Humane Society, so there are even more right around our property. We have a veggie garden, and I want to put in a second one. The trouble is, these cats all seem to think my garden is a toilet, so it is always full of cat poop.

Is there any way to keep them out of the garden? Preferably something that doesn’t involve chemicals (the garden is entirely organic; the seeds aren’t even treated)? I’m at my wits’ end with these critters.

curiozity asked:
I have tried eggs shells to deter slugs but they still eat my lettuce seedlings. I have an organic garden so I do not wish to use chemicals. The garden is mulched with organic oats straw to about 10cms. I let my chooks roam for a short time and they help a little.

slopoke6968 asked:
if organic food is grown without any pesticides how do they keep the insects away?
why is it more expensive if they are saving money on chemicals and such?
do we need to wash it more and watch out for buggies??

Sharina asked:
I am planting a vegetable garden in a raised flower bed. I want it to be organic, so i don’t want to use a plastic liner. but the soil in my yard has a lot of chemicals from the previous owners and I don’t want them in the vegetables, are there any liners that are not plastic?

drakkar asked:
I want to build a durable raised bed for growing organic vegetables, but I’m not sure what to use that will be affordable, unlike cedar. Are there chemicals in pressure-treated wood that might leech into the soil and possibly end up in my veggies?

I do allot of yard work during the spring and summer months and my hands get very callused. I’m not big on using chemicals on my skin. I have a HUGE herb garden so i was wondering if there was anything in there that i can use… i know almonds and oats work… but they can get expensive….. any ideas? I would really appreciate it.

Anitra asked:
So yesterday I notices that on my bush beans somethings been eating the leaves. I looked around and only found 2 ants on my leaves are they capable of this? What can I do? I already have carefully placed Marigolds in my Veggie Garden because I know the smell repels some pests. Are there any insects I could purchase and place in my Garden that are only Carniverous and would eat the bad pests? If not can you suggest any natural, homemade or Organic Pest Control options please help! This is my first ever organic Garden and I really would like to get throught the season without the use of chemicals even organic ones. If this is not feasible any tips are welcome and I’ll weigh my options! Thanks in advance!

Jolly Roger asked:
I used Jiffy Peat Pellets and my seeds sprouted beautifully. The day before I wanted to plant them in the garden I read that sometimes they contain chemicals to boost performance.

Not good for an organic garden, obviously. How else can I sow seeds without planting them in the ground first?
