Just where to start with the organic world of gardening is quite frankly beyond me. I find it all truly fascinating. I do honestly believe that the organic gardening/foods are certainly best due to the absence of chemicals. A couple of things I question about it all though are these, why is organic food so expensive especially with the absence of expensive chemicals and the use of more easily obtainable "mother earth" produced resources should surely keep the costs low? Researching this conundrum has revealed that a. a low yield and b. manual weeding causes the increased prices......I am still not convinced though I still believe it is the way to go.Googling, watching TV and reading has revealed some amazing information about organic gardening: companion planting (which I do), homemade pesticides using chilli, soap, tea and the list goes on, homemade fertilisers using tea composts, chicken manure etc (I read about using bat manure recently.....can someone tell me how and where this can be collected?....no don't because I don't want to know and I can't see myself using it .....), composting (I love it, stockpiling that is not eating it...thought I would clear that up) and so much more. We can't claim that my gardening techniques are 100% organic as yet though we are giving it our best shot I promise!
