If you are gardening in an organic way, you want to let nature going its own way. In stead of using chemical fertilizers you will use natural products to get rid of weed. This will give you 100% natural vegetables and fruit. No need anymore to go to the store to buy bioproducts, because you'll have them in your own garden.
Basics
Organic Garden
In order to keep your garden free of weed there are several possibilities. The most easy way of course is spreading chemical toxins and as a result nothing will grow there anymore. However, the disadvantage is that, once using this soil for growing vegetables one year later, those chemical toxins will be absorbed by your plants. In order to avoid this you might spread wood chips over your soil in stead of using chemical products. Due to this layer of wood chips weed will get no chance to grow and a year later you even might use it as a fertilizer once rotten.
For that part where you really want to grow vegetables and fruits I recommend the use of fertilizers. Don't BUY them, because you can easily make them yourself. A combination of sand, manure, compost and wood chips will create a very fertile soil. In this combination you will have all necessary nutrients for your trees and plants.
Plants
When you start planting, there are several things you should take into account. Do not plant too far apart but plant close together. By doing this weed can not grow between your plants, simply because of a lack of space. Several types of plants need adjusted nutrients, so mix the several varieties in order to avoid one specific nutrient from disappearing from the soil.
In case there will be weed between your plants, you best remove it with a hoe. You will also loosen up the ground and as a result water will better penetrate and your plants will get more water.
Insects
When you want to get rid of unwanted insects the easy way, simply spray a lot of insect killer in your garden. However, the disadvantage is that in the end you will eat this insect killer yourself.
There are several easy and environmentally ways to get rid of your unwanted visitors. Put some simple flowers between your vegetables and fruits. Those flowers will attract wasps and wasps will eat insects, so no worries about insects in your garden anymore.
