How to garden organically


I am working on a speech, planning to speak at a State Ag Concention and would like any consumer replies and opinions. thanks!
sry. i meant. organic vs. NON-organic food growth.

I hope ya mean organic vs. inorganic?
Speaking for myself, I plant a garden twice a year, have been for the past ten years now. I can tell you that organic growing, I.E. no chemicals, tastes 110% better. Guarenteed better for you, and it even looks better. Cost is cheaper, simply because it's all natural. You dont thnk they had pesticides in the old days do ya? Nope, they didnt. They just found other plants and things to drive the pests away.

    For one thing Organic food does not mean grown with out chemicals. In fact they are grown with the use of pesticides anf fertilizers. They just cannot be man made. As for taste there have been numerous test done and in a blind study there was no difference in what people picked as the tastiest. I know because I grow 300 acres of organic and 5000 acres of conventionally grown vegatables. I think if people think it is better for them to eat organic they should but if they thin in is going to make there life longer the are mistaken.

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.
