from: Cindy MauroOrganic gardening has many advantages and this article will
offer you 5 tips to make organic gardening easier.
Organic Gardening Tip #1: Mulch your trees and flower beds with
3" of organic material. When you use this organic gardening tip
you will be able to add humus and nutrients. You can also
conserve water and keep weeds at bay. If you are growing plants
that need acid you can use a thick layer of pine needles.

decompose and the needed acid will be added naturally to the
soil.

solution of soapy water followed with clear water.

gardening regimen. When you make composting part of organic
gardening you will improve the texture, soil structure and

hold water. There are organic and natural ways to fertilize when

temperature range and shade. All these factors come into play
