What does it mean to grow organically?
Organic gardening is a whole eco-system approach, which looks to create balance in your growing space. This could include swapping harmful pesticides for natural alternatives, such as looking after soil health to reduce weeds and encouraging beneficial predators to control ‘pest’ insects. But it’s also about reducing and reusing through activities such as water saving, composting, making homemade plant foods and recycling.
