Taking care of a garden without using any of the petrochemical arsenal, which is so easily sold to us, you must first understand how a plant works. This will provide the right nutritional intake, according to the needs of each type of crop.
But did you know that with organic gardening, the priority is not to bring nutrients directly to the plant, but to promote the growth of microorganisms in the soil?
Because it is often forgotten: there is in the ground an army of microorganisms and microbes that makes a land fertile. These microscopic gardener’s friends indeed transform organic matter (manure, compost ...) and thus allow plants to assimilate nutrients in it.
In a natural garden, we must elaborate the soil in strict accordance with this indispensable micro fauna to ensure the health of crops.
Then, it is essential to follow the rotation of the vegetable family, in order to alternate the used elements in the soil, to avoid deficiencies. This principle will also limit the development of specific diseases and pests to a particular or plant family.
You should also pivilege biodiversity, because it regulates destructive populations. Installing friendly plants in the garden as in the ornamental garden and thinking to associate all plants (pushing each other’s disease or ruiner) will share the same intention.
In addition, some plants can be used for the preparation of natural treatment that will strengthen the plant, fighting in a preventive or curative way against a disease or a stroke.
Let us not forget that in a natural garden, claim a 100% yield is a utopia! Because if we want to host beneficial insects to the garden, in order not to use chemical treatments, we still have to tolerate some ravaging insect : yes, each feeding the other..
In the end, natural gardening is about creating some balance in the garden, in order to intervene as little as possible. .gif)
