When you are doing work in your garden, be efficient. Don't waste your time by searching high and
low for that packet of seeds or spade. Prepare all of your tools prior to working in the garden, and

pockets.
You need to avoid chores in your organic garden stacking up. There are certain little things to help

Is there a natural way to kill weeds? Pile newspapers on top of each other to kill weeds. Without
exposure to the sun, weeds cannot thrive. The layers of newspaper over the weeds will block out the
light and kill them. It's easy for newspapers to break down over an extended period of time, making
them great for compost. Add visual appeal by placing some mulch over the top.
A great tip when running your own organic garden, is to lightly ruffle your seedlings with your hand
or cardboard, around once or twice per day. This probably sounds like an odd recommendation, but

Mulch is necessary for a healthy soil. A couple of inches of mulch will protect what lies beneath it. It
can also keep the ground from overheating during hot weather, which will protect the roots of your
plants from damage. It also keeps soil moist longer by preventing water evaporation. As an added
bonus, weed growth will be stunted.
Every year, rotate your organic garden. Planting the same area with the same plants year after year
will lead to disease and fungus. The diseases and fungi are harbored in the soil and are ready to
make a comeback each year. If you change things up by planting things in different places, you can
naturally prevent fungus and disease from taking over.
Stagger you vegetable planting so you will have a new harvest every month or so. When you stagger
your planting in this manner, your tomato plants will not be in bloom all at once, meaning you have
fresh tomatoes for longer. This will also prevent you from losing an entire harvest if some type of
problem arises that kills off a batch.

Using a soaker hose to water an organic garden is the very best choice. As the water slowly seeps
out of the hose, it is directed right to the plant roots so the leaves do not get wet. They use less
water than sprinklers and are much less tedious than hand watering your plants.
It should now be clear to you why so many people find organic gardening enjoyable. The activity is
