Practice Natural Yard Care tips, using organic gardening methods
Natural Yard Care Tips:
Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants
How does Organic Gardening differ from Conventional Gardening? Organic gardening feeds the soil. Traditional relies solely on chemicals. Traditional gardening uses chemical fertilizers produced with inorganic salts and recycled industrial waste products. This approach deadens the soil, killing the beneficial microbes (Mycorrhizae). The plants are then dependent upon receiving the fertilizers as it sole means of capturing nutrients. Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungus that lives on the roots helping the plant break down nutrients in a symbiotic relationship. 90% of terrestrial plants use mycorrhizae- exceptions aquatic plants, epiphytes and orchids.
