Preparing An Organic Gardening Supply On Your Own

Organic farming has started to gain popularity of late and there are for certain a lot of takers for this trend. However, you need to possess some knowledge about making organic gardening supply on your own as it is not a good thing to shell out money for something that you can do on your own with the resources present with you.

Compost is a very important component of an organic garden and you can prepare it just with the leaves that fall from trees. Not just leaves, any sort of vegetative waste in your garden can act as the main ingredient for making compost. You just need to collect them in an organized manner so that they form a significant part of your organic gardening supply.

You can prepare compost in two ways: either by using a garden bin or by digging a hole in the ground to contain the fallen leaves. All you need to do is to collect the fallen leaves in the pit and water them regularly so that they gain some moisture. You should cover the pit with earth once it becomes full. Leave it untouched for a period of 3 months during which the waste item would get transformed to the much needed compost. The end product is what would serve as the ideal fertilizer for your organic farm.

Digging multiple pits is a good practice as you can collect more compost for your garden as the pits get filled one by one. Only be sure to dig them at an obscure part of the garden such that it doesn’t spoil the beauty of a well-maintained garden.

Comfrey is one of the most important and most popular organic fertilizing plants. It is a good idea to grow comfrey along with the other plants, in your garden.

Gardeners tend to assume that any organic product is automatically safe for humans and beneficial to the environment—and in most cases this is true. The problem, as Jeff Gillman points out in this fascinating, well-researched book, is that it is not always true, and the exceptions to the rule can pose a significant threat to human health. To cite just one example, animal manures in compost can be a source of harmful E. coli contamination if imporperly treated. Gillman’s contention is that all

Quantum Generator Technology, Quantum Physics And Organic Gardening – What Is The Connection?

Quantum Generator Technology, Quantum Physics And Organic Gardening – What Is The Connection?

The Quantum Generator Technology is a newly emerging applied science in the area of quantum physics, communication, information storage & retrieval and quantum intelligence. Way back in 1905 Einstein’s theories rocked the world. Zero point became understood as something mysterious to talk about while sitting down at the dinner table eating your favorite vegetables picked from your garden.

Now, in present day conventional gardening, for many people from toddlers to centenarians all around the world, has become a popular way to pass the time. The complexities of conventional gardening has, to say the least, become somewhat toxic in its approach to supporting plants to grow well and produce health promoting fruits and vegetables. A more appropriate, and certainly less toxic, approach is organic gardening!

Organic gardening, as far as I am concerned is a labor of love! Conventional gardening has the idiom of “Garbage in, garbage out” attached to it, which is quit frankly all so very true. The nutritional value of organically grown fruits and vegetables is vastly superior, not to mention the unhealthiness to that of conventional gardening. Utilizing the applied science of Quantum Generator Technology to organically grown food is an innovative approach and has zero toxic-ness attached to it, “Great stuff in, great stuff out”.

The applied science of Quantum Generator Technology has provided a simple and easy solution to producing great tasting, and highly beneficial health promoting food. So, just what is this technology and how does it work to produce great tasting vegetables? Having some basic knowledge of what the term “quantum physics” means, will give us clues to help in our understanding.

The word “quantum” can have distinctive differences to its meaning, for example; 1) “The smallest amount of a physical quantity that can exist independently…” Or 2) “The smallest quantity of some physical property, such as energy, that a system can possess…” The first meaning is referring to a small quantity of something that exists by itself, and the second is referring to a small something, such as energy, and a system. A subtle difference yet pertinent to this discussion.

As to the word “physics” is to mean, “The branch of science concerned with the properties of matter and energy and the relationships between them.” Bringing the words together, quantum physics, we come up with, “The branch of science that administers with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta, according to quantum theory.” OK. In the simplest terms what does all this boil down to? When it comes to the atomic world, it is not like the world we live in, or is it?

A Danish Physicist, Niels Bohr said, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.” What do you suppose he meant by that statement? Yes, quantum physics is not for your average ‘bear’. It does take many hours of study to grasp its concepts and theories. But it does describe the nature of the universe as being quit different than what we ‘see’. Hang in here. We are getting very close to what it is we see, and don’t see, and what this has to do with Quantum Generator Technology and organic gardening.

The Quantum Generators used in this technology is permanently placing certain frequencies, directly into the stones’ atomic structure in such a way, that now the stones’ surrounding environment can benefit from those frequencies! The implications of this are enormous! Most of us on the planet really are not able to see frequencies unless we use an instrument or tool that can ‘see’ a frequency. But for sure many people on the planet can ‘feel’ a frequency. Science has proven that plants have no problem ‘feeling’ frequencies, and that certain frequencies are beneficial and some are not. One such frequency that is a benefit to plants is the frequency range of the sound of birds!

The amount of research done in this area of the sound of birds and the affects on plants is huge. What was discovered is that plants thrive in all ways, meaning they grow better, faster with more resistant to everything they need to have resistance towards, especially if organic nutrients are applied. These frequencies, plus the NASA frequency of the Sound of the Sun, Harmonic Codes, Tachyon Energies and the frequencies of Sacred Tree of Life collectively enhance the growth and well being of plants.

Organic Container Gardening – Simple and Easy Ways to Grow Vegetables and Flowers in Pots

Organic Container Gardening – Simple and Easy Ways to Grow Vegetables and Flowers in Pots

Organic container gardening is an excellent way to grow flowers and vegetables at home. It has removed the limit that associated home gardening with a large yard space. It makes possible for urban gardeners to grow plants in their high-rise apartments and compact condominium units. It is so space efficient and beneficial that even countryside gardeners still have some plants growing in pots despite owning a sizeable garden area.

The biggest and obvious difference is that instead of planting directly in the ground, you’ll be using containers to grow your plants. But using containers is where the added benefits come into play.

Containers double as barriers protecting plants from soil-born diseases and pests larvae that are present in the soil. It offers flexibility to move plants around as and when needed, to protect from unfavorable weather conditions such as hot summer and freezing winter days, for example. It allows for easier plantscaping, giving you more freedom to design a functional and attractive organic garden, as often as your whim dictates. Best of all, organic container gardening makes it possible to bring your garden indoors where you can enjoy the same benefit as you would outdoors.

And if that’s not enough, growing plants in pots is also fairly easy and requires no special effort. To illustrate the point, here are seven simple ways to grow vegetables and flowers in containers.

1. Choose the size of the container based on the size of the mature plant and its root system. Plants with expansive root system need large containers. The size and material of the container affects its ability to hold moisture. But moisture-retention capability can be improved through the soil or by lining pots with non-porous and non-absorbent materials. Choose decorative pots with provision for collecting drained water for indoor plants. Choose durable containers that can withstand the elements for outdoor gardening.

2. Ensure that containers are fitted with enough drainage holes to prevent standing water. Line the bottom of the container with coarse gravel to ensure proper drainage.

3. Start with a good standard potting soil mixture. Add compost to the potting mix to supply nutrient to the plant. Use organic liquid fertilizer to give your plants instant boost. Use slow-release fertilizers for a steady and longer nutrient supply.

4. Place plants in containers where they can enjoy adequate sun exposure everyday. Five to eight hours are recommended depending on the plant’s light requirement. Turn your plants regularly for equal exposure of all side to the sun.

5. During extremely hot days, move your plants under a shade to avoid wilting. Consequently, move them indoors to protect them from frost once winter sets in.

6. Water plants in containers more frequently than you would plants in the ground. Containers can only hold relatively small amount of soil and dry out quickly. Don’t water too often. Overwatering will suffocate the roots causing them to rot. Frequent watering also washes away the fertilizers in the soil. Don’t wait until your potted plants start to wilt before you water them.

7. Maintain 1:1 plant-container ratio for bushy flowering plants and vegetables. If you’re going to grow more than on plant in a container, make sure that they have the same sun, water and fertilizer requirement. Don’t have too many plants in a single container. Overcrowding impedes good air circulation that plants need.

How To Benefit Others And Yourself With Organic Gardening

How To Benefit Others And Yourself With Organic Gardening

Did you know you can feed children around the world with your organic garden? “How in the world can you do that?” you ask. It’s really quite simple and only takes a little more planning and work on your part.

When you began to plan your own personal natural garden you should layout a larger and grander garden. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s for flowers, veggies, fruits or bushes to beautify your yard. That’s right! Make it bigger. When it’s harvest time you will have more flowers, plants and veggies than you can possibly use.

Instead of plowing under the excess crops from your organic gardening or inundating your friends and relatives with it take it to the local Farmers Market or the Flea Market and sell it. Chances are you won’t have a problem selling it and you may end up with a pocket full of cash. Take the cash from the sell and donate it to your favorite “Feed The Children” charity. When you do this a starving child will benefit from your garden, long after you harvested your crops.

Another great benefit from raising your own organic fruits and veggies is it’s a great school project for your child’s school. Help your child and their classmates set up their own organic garden. The immediate lessons they learn will be about how to help the environment, healthy eating, teamwork and it makes learning fun for them. Again, set it up, so the children can take the crops to the local Farmers Market or Flea Market to sell.
The proceeds from the sell can be used to buy something which will benefit all of the children of the school.

This next benefit is one that is seldom thought about by your children or possibly by you.
This is the benefit of the physical exercise you and the kids will receive by working in the garden. You know that the kids today don’t play outside the way you did when you were a kid. An hour a day of working in your garden will help in weight loss (burning calories), lowering blood pressure, strengthen the heart and lungs, build muscle, sharpen the mind. Relieve stress and sleep better. The end result being you and kids will be much happier and healthy to boot.

One last benefit you will realize by you when working with the earth and growing things organically is the restoration of your sprit and soul. You will receive such a sense of well being when you have a fruitful harvest, you just can’t beat it. You will know you have done your part to help “Mother Nature” return to her natural state and touched all the other human beings by doing so.

As you have just read the benefits to organic gardening can benefit not only yourself and your family, but you can actually reach out and make a difference in the world.

Five Step Beginner’s Vegetable Gardening Guide

Five Step Beginner’s Vegetable Gardening Guide

More and more people are taking to vegetable gardening these days, and most of them are beginners. So, this brief vegetable gardening guide is dedicated to them. It is a fact that most of the vegetable gardening being done is in the urban areas. To be a success in home gardening one needs to understand some basic facts and be able to make practical decisions.

First of all you need a garden site. It should be in a location exposed to full or almost full sunlight. The ideal soil for vegetable gardening is fertile, well drained and deep. There should be a water outlet nearby and it should be free of competition from any plants or trees nearby. If the soil is made up of clay, adding sand or organic matter will certainly be an advantage. And, while you are working with the soil, do not forget to turn the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches.

The second step is to decide on the kinds of vegetables to grow. Consider growing crops that are highly nutritious. If you have a fence or trellis, locate vine crops close to them. Avoid over planting and grow according to the needs of the family. Selecting the right variety is of paramount importance as the wrong ones might not be very productive in spite of good attention and care.

Third, remember that to be successful in vegetable gardening, proper fertilization is indispensable. The quantity of fertilizer required is dependant on the kind of soil and crops. Clay soils need heavy fertilization as they can absorb and store fertilizers 3-4 times more than loose sandy soils. Sandy soils needs light fertilization more often. Also adding generous amounts of potassium to sandy soil will make the crops grow better.

Fourth, to make earlier harvesting possible, transplant vegetable crops as much as possible. If you cannot, seed directly at a depth that is 2-3 times its widest measurement. Seed them thick so that you can thin them later to the optimum stand. Planting should be followed by watering. Let the water penetrate to at least 6 inches into the soil. Sandy soils needs frequent watering compared to heavier ones. This should be followed by mulching using organic materials.

Fifth, and finally, in the list of vegetable gardening is weeding and pest control. A long-handled hoe will take care of the weeds without using a weed kill chemical that poisons the soil. For pest control make use of natural methods as much as possible and avoid applying synthetic insecticides. But if you really want to use them, follow instructions on the label to the letter.

Hope this brief vegetable gardening guide is of use to you. Happy gardening!

Organic Gardening For The Beginner

Filed under Uncategorized by admin on August 9, 2010 at 11:38 am {no comments}

Organic Gardening For The Beginner

Typically, beginners to organic gardening are excited by the whole concept of “organic,” but don’t know where to start. I remember when I first contracted “organic fever”; I was so excited that I was reading everything I could find on the subject. Some articles were very entertaining but gave little practical information. Other articles seemed to focus on a particular product as being the miraculous answer to all gardening problems. Early on in my learning curve, I was reading an extremely interesting article about liquid organic fertilizer. It made a lot of sense and I was sold on the product, ready to run out and buy it.

Problem was, I hadn’t even planted anything yet! What I needed was a beginners guide to organic gardening. Since I never found one I decided to write one myself in hopes that it helps you avoid some of the pitfalls I’ve experienced. I put on the brakes and backed up a bit, but still eagerly absorbed all I could find. That is why I always recommend to anyone who is just discovering organic gardening to start on a small scale. Container gardening, for example, is a perfect place to start. You can move your container easily to protect it from the elements, even indoors.

The 3 R’s: Research, Read, Repeat

Different types of plants have different growing requirements, so it is imperative to know in advance of planting, what conditions are required by your plants to thrive. This is the most basic principle but often the most overlooked. You cannot rely on store personnel to know even the most basic facts about the plants they are cashiers, not horticulturalists. By following the 3 R’s you will avoid a lot of potential plant problems, plus, you’ll save yourself time, money, and aggravation. It’s much easier to learn about how to grow fat nutritious organic tomatoes after you have learned what soil requirements tomatoes need, than to repurchase and replant seedlings because you skipped this important step.

Follow The Rules

You can’t be successful if you cheat or take shortcuts. You might be tempted to think you can add a chemical to make your plants grow faster or taller. Read that sentence again. Do you see that word “chemical”? The use of chemicals is the opposite of organic. I want to assist you in growing gorgeous plants and healthful veggies. I do not promote or support the use of synthetic chemicals. When chemicals are added to the soil to induce artificial growth or color, they destroy the very micro-organisms needed to grow! The very essence of Organics is: No Chemicals. Ever. (Besides, if you think you can ingest chemicals without any adverse effects, you’ve been woefully misled!)

You Can’t Create Life

When you get right to the heart of the matter, you can’t create a tomato. All you can do is plant a little tiny seed and give it what it needs to grow. In my ignorance I used to repeat that tired old cliche, “Life begins in the soil.” Well, that’s only half true. While the seed contains the energy to germinate after planting, it’s the life in the soil that enables it to flourish. Micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, protozoa and nematodes convert organic fertilizer into energy for your plants to grow.

Are you ready to pursue organic gardening? Then you need to start by doing some housecleaning. Yes, I said housecleaning.

I suggest finding a good bio-degradable bag and, starting under your sink bag up all the chemicals to kill bugs and weeds. Then, progressing to your basement, garage, or utility shed, collect them all and get rid of them! If you are ready and willing to commit to growing healthy and nutritious food, then you need to get rid of all the poisons out of you home and garden. Okay, so you have a bag of toxic substances in hand, and you’re walking out to your garbage can… Suddenly you realize that there might possibly be a safety issue concerning the disposal of this stuff. The light bulb goes on.

If you have to consider how to safely dispose of a product, why would you want it in your home?

An Organic Gardening Guide – Two Things it Should Not Overlook

An Organic Gardening Guide – Two Things it Should Not Overlook

Many people are interested in finding an organic gardening guide, these days. And these are not people who want to go back to the 1800′s either. These are modern day, computer literate, mini-van families who simply want to live a healthier life.  And, they have seen the value in growing organic vegetables.

Much of this happens to be because they have heard of facts such as this: “40% more antioxidants are found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.”  Today, people are simply becoming more health conscious. Some of that might be driven by the US Department of Agriculture.  The word is out that mineral levels in fruits, and vegetables have declined in commercially produced foods since the 1940′s.  That’s enough to cause a lot of families to think more critically about what goes into their bodies.

So now, little gardens are springing up behind people’s homes all over the world. All in the interest of better health. What exactly is this type of gardening? Well, basically it is gardening that is not dependent on chemicals, but instead, things that come from living matter.  It is making a garden that is not helped from synthetic (man made) products.  It is a garden that does not depend on you purchasing fertilizer or pesticides, which can be harmful.

In fact, if you are looking for an organic gardening guide, then you would be wise to make sure it teaches about the two critical aspects of gardening: Not having chemically based fertilizers and not having chemically based pesticides.

You need to replace the fertilizer with organic gardening compost.  And, you need to replace the pesticides with a new concept: organic gardening pest control.

I will plan to write about each of these in future articles.  For now, be sure any natural gardening guide contains information about these two important areas.
