Organic Gardening and its Benefits

Tags: , , , , , , ,



organic-gardening-and-its-benefitsOnly very recently organic foods are trying to pave their way quite stealthily in the modern super markets just for their superfine taste and food value that is quite intact within the food items. The craze is just on the move. Modern men are growing health conscious day by day. It is just the outcome. Even organic gardening is on the march just to make people aware of the danger of consuming food items prepared in inorganic methods. It is quite evident that at present in every corner of India inorganic manures are used in a rampant way just to facilitate the growth of crops in a massive scale.

What then

Thus the crops smeared with inorganic manures lead to fatal ailments like cancer as people have no other way than to consume them. Greed gets the better of common people in such a way that they without bothering of health hazards use inorganic items in the soil making it barren day by day. In the near future it is visualized that there would be no crops swaying their heads in the gentle breeze in rural India. Again if such trend goes on human civilization would be extinct from the surface of Indian soil. If organic farming is encouraged the earth can be totally free from poison and people can enjoy good health. But how it can be implemented it must be chalked out. Farmers should be made aware not to hug death or to sow the seeds of destruction on the Indian soil.

The method to follow

Furthermore, instead of using pesticides eco-friendly worms may be used in the fields to ward off the dangerous insects that cause harm to the crops. It is now seen in the foreign countries that being scared of total extinction they use organic methods. If they can do why do we lag behind? If organic materials may be squeezed out of the organic soil people may be rejuvenated. Besides, our future generation may breathe in a new environment where there would be no sign of poison around them. If we can offer a robust generation we must march forward to the better future. I think from the very beginning new techniques should be implemented. Farmers are made conscious of the grave situation. They must be assured that crops in abundance may inflate bank amount but it can bring death to him or his dear ones at any time.

How to fight back

Hence it is the only duty of the common people to hanker after organic products to give birth to a disease free society where there would be no dance of death. The only thing, we presume, is hard toil and a united effort. If we go through the pages of history we notice that the system of cultivation was adopted long ago, but people were happy to harvest a small quantity of crops. It was quite evident that they were aware of the problems arising out of the process of using in organic materials in the fields. They were not tech savvy like the farmers of the modern era, but they were more conscious of the well being of themselves and their dear ones.

When the soil was virgin and never used to put forth abundance of crops there was healthy glow on every face. As a result of organic farming there was no unwanted death as they are seen today. If instead of amassing bank balance the modern farmers of India follow the old patterns of farming then we can bid good bye to modern inorganic methods and would be able to lead a happy hazard free life. But it must be remembered that the task it not easy, it is enduring as well. We have miles to go before we breathe quite passionately in a heavenly atmosphere sans any complicacy.

The Best Organic Gardening Advices

organic-vegatableOrganic gardening prevents us from several harms caused by heavy doses of pesticides that are applied on to the foods and also saves our money, which we spend to buy expensive foods from market and malls. While growing own food, you better know what kind of insecticides or sprayers that were used or they were not used at all and also if anything is applied to the soil. A small plot of land can be used to grow variety of vegetables and food. There is much difference in taste and quality if the food is picked up after being ripe and if they are brought from the stores. The former one surely has better taste and quality, for which you spend less money. Following gardening tips can be followed for optimal results.

You can apply mulch to soil to prevent soil erosion as it ensures the moisture quantity is maintained in the soil. Also they decompose over time adding nutrients to the soil; for this reason it is advised to add 2-3 inches of Mulch to soil in start of every season. It prevents rainwater from washing the soil and absorbs the water content of soil. But also take a note that the root should not get in contact with the mulch as the moisture will render the roots and the entire plant rotten.

Compost, which is made up from the recycled wastes from garden and food, can be used instead of fertilizers which are never good for healthy foods. This improves the soil and ensures that no toxins get into the food chain (underground water, soil and plants), as use of pesticides and fertilizers (artificial) is also prevented.

Always choose the plants that suits your climate i.e. temperature, moisture, rainfall, sunlight etc as you need to take lesser care and mortality rate of such plants even in winters is less. You can consider an example of drought resisting plants which are ideal for dry climate lands as high watering will never be required from your side.

Crop rotation is a wide spread and beneficial practice as it ensures – the nutrients remain intact with the soil and pests are controlled. Different crops attract different category of pests, so rotation will ensure no single type will remain forever or grow. It helps retain the nutrients in the soil as different crops require diff nutrients.

Do grow hardwood trees i.e. which shed leaves and bear new ones every year. In spring they’ll bear full leaves preventing sunlight and in winter they become bare, allowing sunshine to reach you. Also it saves a lot of cost for air cooling and warming etc.

Some animals, insects, flies help the plant grow healthily by either killing the harmful ones or by pollinating the plants. Earthworms help aerate the soil ensuring oxygen and water to the roots. You should make sure, such beneficial organisms thrive.

Avoid overwatering and water only n early morning or late in evening as in any other time major portion of water will be evaporated and won’t soak into ground. Use of sprinklers is never recommended since most of water content is lost due to wind pressure, but watering cans and soakers are highly advised since they help the water reach base of the plant.
