Growing plants organically decreases pest and disease problems. Soil will become increasingly more enriched and therefore all mammals (that includes humans) become healthier in the process. There are just a few rules for any grower to follow in order to be fully organic.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Best varieties of plants for your area
  • Soil test kit
  • Minerals to balance your soil
  • Compost, well decomposed and chemical free
  • Beneficial insects

Step1
Purchase well adapted varieties of plants for your area. Plant your chosen varieties during the correct time of year.
Step2
Perform a soil test. Add the correct mineral to your soil according to the results of your soil test.
Step3
Add plenty of well decomposed and chemical free compost.
Step4
Learn which bugs are good and which ones are bad and don’t harm any of them. Attract and protect the good bugs and they will take care of the bad bugs for you.

Tips & Warnings

  • Build your soil with good, natural things. Good soil is full of beneficial life and shouldn’t be “dead”.
  • Follow Natures laws.
  • If you have pests or any disease problem then you have done something wrong in the above steps.
