Sharing key features that make organic gardening at home so useful…
What is Organic Gardening?
Organic gardening means growing plants without using any harmful chemicals and genetically modified seeds.
Importance of organic gardening at home is not limited to growing healthy foods for our daily meals. It goes beyond that.
The process of organic gardening teaches us to be harmonious with nature.
Improves soil health. Organic matter like compost builds healthy soil with naturally occurring nitrogen, phosphorus, and other essential nutrients.
Prevents soil degradation. Thick layer of organic mulch composed of grass clippings, leaves, etc. covers the top soil and prevent its erosion.
Reduces water pollution.
No synthetic chemicals in the form of fertilizers and pesticides are added to organic garden soil...
When rain water flows over garden soil and runs into nearby lakes, ponds, or ground water, it does not carry any chemicals to pollute water bodies.
Promotes balance in ecosystem. Avoiding toxic inputs that can damage soil, water, and air makes organic gardening an eco-friendly option...
Thus, it extends protection to healthy living conditions of plants and other living creatures like birds, insects, fish, animals, etc.
Organic gardens supply us safe and healthy fruits and vegetables, free from fertilizer and pesticide residues.
Fruits and vegetables harvested in organic garden taste better. High quality soil nutrients keep plant roots well-nourished for perfect crops with rich flavour.
Since seeds used in organic gardening are not genetically modified, chances of allergic reactions from these foods become less.
Most importantly, nontoxic organic gardening system saves our home and lawn areas from stuff that can cause harm to humans and pets.
