    About this ebook

    For some people, gardening is a passion. Some people garden just as a hobby. For still others, it?s a way to feed their families. We think Shirley Mac Claine's character in "Steel Magnolias" said it best. "Because that's what Southern women do, we wear funny hats and grow things in the dirt."
    You don't have to be from the South or be a woman, or even wear a funny hat to enjoy gardening. The thrill of seeing your first red, ripe tomato or watching your first stalk of corn reach from the ground can be an amazing experience for many people.
    Gardening is also a great way to provide healthy food for you and your loved ones. When you buy produce from the store, it just isn't the same as presenting a salad to your family that came exclusively from your garden worked by your own two hands.
    Many people choose to garden so they can have control over what type of food they eat without fear of chemicals or preservatives. Often, commercially grown produce is cultivated in greenhouses with the use of pesticides and chemicals to enhance their growth.
    A quick study on these types of artificial applications can be unnerving for anyone. The side effects of chemical pesticides on the human body can truly take its toll. So many people are jumping on the "organic bandwagon" as a way to minimise the risks to themselves and their loved ones that often comes with commercially prepared foods.
    You don't have to be a health nut to embrace organic gardening. Imagine the wonderful way you'll feel knowing that you are serving foods that were grown all naturally without the risks that come from applying chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
    It's easier than you think. If you've been gardening for years or are just beginning to grow your own food, organic gardening can provide you with peace of mind and pride in your produce. Don't have any clues how to start? That's why you're reading this book!
    We will explore the advantages of organic gardening as well as the best way to begin your all-natural garden. We'll give you ideas about mulching, weed control, and composting. Plus, we'll give you some ideas on all-natural pest controls and ways to make sure your garden thrives without chemicals!

      WHY GARDEN ORGANICALLY?

      As recent as 25 years ago, the idea of organic gardening was considered quite a radical concept.  How in the world were gardeners expected to control the weeds, the bugs, and the animals that could threaten a thriving garden without the use of man-made chemicals?

      When you think about it, organic gardening is a really simply theory.  For years, people have been growing things without the use of chemicals.  The early settlers of our country didn’t have Miracle-Gro or Sevin Dust and they made out just fine. 

      It only makes sense that we should be able to apply the same techniques and get the same results as they did today.  We should grow food using Mother Nature's ingredients rather than concoctions born in a chemist's laboratory for the good of all of us.

      But the interest in organic gardening goes beyond just the benefits for us and our families.  There has been a rise in the interest of ecology and concern about the environment that has given new life to the renewed interest in this form of gardening. By using natural minerals and materials, by taking advantage of natural predators, and by recycling garden waste, the home gardener can maintain an organic garden quite successfully.
