A cultivation method avoiding synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs, instead using natural methods (compost, beneficial insects, crop rotation) to build soil health and manage pests sustainably.
Organic gardening works with nature instead of against it. It builds soil biology, encourages beneficial insects, uses crop rotation and compost instead of chemical fertilizers, and controls pests through prevention and biological control rather than pesticides. It's more labor-intensive upfront but requires less input long-term as soil and biological control systems establish.
Organic gardening is better for soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. It's also safer for you, your family, and beneficial organisms.
