    Organic horticulture
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Organic gardening Jump to: navigation search Organic horticulture is the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants by following the essential principles of organic agriculture in soil building and conservation, pest management, and heirloom variety preservation. The Latin words hortus (garden plant) and cultura (culture) together form horticulture , classically defined as the culture or growing of garden plants. Horticulture is also sometimes defined simply as “agriculture minus the plough.” Instead of the plough , horticulture makes use of human labour and gardener’s hand tools, although some small machine tools like rotary tillers are commonly employed now.

      Tip! Think of the earlier days when chemical fertilizers and harmful pesticides were not invented and people used to grow cereals and pulses, fruits and vegetables, flowers and seedlings using fertilizers from natural waste products. They were dependant on home made pesticides instead of chemical pest removers. The produces looked better, tasted better and were absolutely harmless. Well, people have come to appreciate today the practice the earlier generation accomplished so well and regenerate the system for their own benefit. In short, the method involves no inorganic substances to be used in planting, nutrition or growth of plants and trees. Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and supplements are all obtained only from nature. When this technique is applied to gardening, it is called Organic Gardening that is gaining popularity pretty fast and the produces thus obtained are termed Organic Food. Tip! * A big plus is how easy it is have an organic container vegetable garden. Organic gardening is healthy for you, your family, and your plants and is good for the environment. The organic movement has gained momentum and has now become a national hobby that is as interesting as it is productive. However, pests are pests and they are merciless when attacking plants and herbs in an organic garden. But there are ways to get rid of them in a natural way. One simple method is to plant marigolds near the vegetable patch; another is to make a concoction of cooking oil, dish washing soap and water and spray the mixture to remove the pests.

    The Dirt on Growing Organically
    What is growing organically? It depends upon who you talk to. Some think it's synonymous with "hippy" while others believe it's a baby boomer fad (see Gardening as an Anarchist Plot ). The simple answer is, that organic gardeners only use animal or vegetable fertilizers rather than synthetics. It also means natural pest control devoid of industrial insecticides. In other words, using natural substances and beneficial insects to ward off pests instead of spraying with the backyard equivalent of Agent Orange
    However, organic growing is much more than what we use and don't use (see Garden Organically ). It is a philosophy that stresses increasing the natural health of the soil, choosing appropriate plants that are suited to your area, and working with nature to produce a healthy and productive garden.
    While growing without chemicals is trendy now, it's been around since ancient times. It was the only way to farm. Chemical fertilizers weren't even a possibility until the 1840's when some scientist in a lab coat discovered that he could mix a couple of test tubes together and make a plant grow. Since then farming has become increasingly chemically based. However, as many as 60 years ago

    A Return to a Simpler Lifestyle
    Less than a hundred years ago, the small farm was king. And if they didnt live on a farm, at the very least folks had chickens in their backyards and grew their own vegetables. But then big business came on the scene, and we all got office jobs. And women went to work, too, because why should men have all the fun? So we all dressed up in our office clothes, dropped our kids off at the public school or daycare, spent hours in the car, sat at a desk for even longer hours, took half an hour at noon and raced to a nearby fast food place.

    Conventional vs. Organic Growing
    Posted by Chris Field on August 8th, 2010 filed in Garden Maintenance There are a number of reasons why organic gardening is better than conventional or commercial growing.  Some of the reasons are more obvious than others.  As small scale backyard gardeners, there is a tendency to focus just on the plants and practices in our own yards and on our own tables.  However, conventional vs. organic growing is a hot topic and has more global ramifications. What Do the Terms Even Mean?

    Compost Conundrums: Solving composting problems
    Posted by Katie Elzer-Peters on August 2nd, 2010 filed in Compost Making your own compost is the best way to add organic matter and natural fertilizer to your garden. Organic matter helps water move through the soil—water stays in the soil so that plants can take it up, but organic matter also helps soil drain properly. Organic matter improves soil structure, helping roots penetrate deeply. Organic matter helps keep the pH of the soil stable, which is important for nutrient availability. Organic matter also decomposes to provide a natural fertilizer for plants. Compost Problems Cause Headaches Compost is not just about throwing food scraps in a bin and letting them rot. Several potential problems plague homeowners that compost. However, most of these problems are easy to overcome.

    Denise's Organic Garden
    Introduction:
    First of all, let me tell you that the source of the composting came from a book entitled: Solar Living Source Book: The Complete Guide To Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Living
    purchased through REAL GOODS . If you'd like more information about this book or the company, please e-mail me. What's Currently Planted How I Made My Compost Pile Why Grow Organic?
    What's Currently Planted
    It is the beginning of spring, so now is the time to get the garden ready for summer squash (yellow squash and zucchini, in particular), tomatoes and bell peppers. Since the average date of the last freeze in Tallahassee is March 20, it is best to start plants in pots so you can bring them indoors in case a cold front comes through, or wait until the end of March to plant. If you decided to plant outdoors, keep an eye on the weather forcast, because you don't want to plant seeds and then have the ground freeze. I have planted some yellow squash, and transplanted some plants that grew out of my compost pile. I think they are some sort of squash, but exactly what will turn out is a mystery! Next on my list to plant are bell peppers, zucchini and tomatoes. I've been reading about how to arrange tomato plants around a steel cage of sorts in order to maximize yield and harvest ease. (As a mathematician, the optimization comes naturally.)
    The planting was completed this weekend. I have three gardens completed, and I'm ready to maintain the plots and harvest the crops. I have harvested some of the spinach leaves (for the best flavor, pick the leaves before the plants flower, and especially when the leaves are around 5 inches long). My tomato plants are around 3 feet tall, and have a few flowers, but no fruit yet. The yellow squash have flowered several times, but so far, no squashlings have arrived. Perhaps bee season is just beginning. My zuccini are growing nicely, but no flowers yet. My cucumbers have just sprouted, as have the watermelon. This weekend I planted corn, beans and squash (the three sisters, as they are sometimes called, since the squash takes the ground level, the corn grows tall and the beans climb on the corn) and I started a pumpkin patch.

    Texas heat
    2 Comments General It is hot and quite humid. Every Texas gardener plans their gardening for early morning and late evening. That really is the only time you can enjoy being outside. At the stores, we have to do it all day long as some of the plants at the stores have to be watered two and three times a day (hats and lots of sunscreen!). I know some of these plants are asking why they are being subjected to this extreme. And then I go on a drive, get out of the car in a small town just west of Denton in the middle of the day and see this vivid splash of color against our deep blue Texas sky.  A pipevine swallowtail (I am pretty sure that is what it is) butterfly was feeding, going from blossom to blossom unfazed by the heat. The Texas sage was in full bloom and a morning glory vine was trying to set up territory in the sage. I could not help but stop and admire - it was beautiful even in the blazing sun!

    document.write(doClock("W0",",%20","M0","%20","D1")); Resources for Organic Gardening PAGE: Organic Gardening Techniques The success or failure of the organic approach depends on how gardeners use and prepare organic matter, according to this site. Organic matter improves soil tilth and prevents soil compaction and crusting, while it increases the water holding ability of the soil and provides a more favorable soil environment for earthworms and beneficial microorganisms. Organic matter also slows erosion, and in later stages of decay, organic matter releases nitrogen and other nutrients to growing crops. Carbon dioxide from decaying organic matter brings minerals of the soil into solution, making them available to growing plants. Many soils of the world have been ruined, mainly because they have been depleted of organic matter from prolonged cultivation without proper soil management , the site says.
