Organic Gardening: Best Way In Taking Care Of Our Nature

We already discussed about organic and natural pest control. How we ought to avoid using harmful chemical-based pesticides and how using it can lead us to danger and even acquiring deadly diseases like cancer. Living in this world means that we have to survive by all mean but it doesn’t follow that we have to survive at the expense of others or at the expense of our environment. Chemical based pesticides don’t just harm our health, our animal’s health but also the environment. And once nature takes its toll on us that is the very dangerous situation we could be in.

If you are into gardening or farming systems then you should also take into account how to protect the environment and not just deliberately using pesticides to kill the pest in your garden. Practicing organic gardening is the best way to go. It is designed to work with our ecological system and is designed to help maintain the balance in our nature. Many farmers have already adapted organic gardening.  

Instead of using the easier but harmful method of cultivating the soil-which is the mechanical tillage, farmers now use reduced-tillage methods which is less harmful to our environment. The tilling in gardening is much less of an issue than plowing which increases up soil erosion. With plowing the soil will be left uncovered for a long period of time and what’s worse is, if the soil has only a minimal content of organic substance the structural stability of the soil decreases. 

Instead of using mechanical tillage, farmers tend to use methods which areintercropping, planting over crops and mulching. In this way the soil tends to be covered throughout the year. Also, using compost, organic fertilizers and manure mulching are very helpful as it increases the content of organic substance in soil which helps prevent soil erosion and degradation.

Taking care of our crops and plants is important as it can help in our everyday living and survival. However we also have to take into account in taking care of our environment as this is the core of our existence. Without it, we are absolutely nothing hence organic gardening should be practiced and developed.
