How to garden organically


Archives for September, 2008

If I wanted to start up my own business growing organic food, what equipment and resources would I need?

and what things do I need that are specifically used for growing organic food and not regular farming.

First you need to familiar yourself with the requirements to be able to label your farm as organic. A lot will depend on what has been done previously on the land that you want to start organic farming. There is not much in the way of equipment that you will need that is not used by conventional farming. In fact you will require a lot less. A manure spreader is about the only thing you will need that have mostly disappeared on conventional farms. A small tractor with a front end loader or something like a Bobcat, would be a big help in preparing and turning your compost pile. And or course you need a source of organic fertilizer.

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
