Organic horticulture or organic gardening is based on knowledge and techniques gathered over thousands of years, while chemical fertilizing is a relatively recent invention. In general terms, organic gardening views the garden as an entire integrated ecosystem. It recognizes natural processes, often taking place over extended periods of time, and takes a sustainable, holistic approach to gardening. On the contrary chemical-based horticulture focuses on immediate, isolated effects with limited results and often devastating consequences.
HOW IS IT DONE?
Organic gardening seeks to feed the soil, not just the plants. Organic gardening utilizes vermicompost, mulches, cover crops, compost, manures, and mineral supplements to build the soil. These practices are all ways of recycling organic matter into the best fertilizers and soil conditioners available to man.
