I want an organic garden. I am just starting out. Does anyone have any tips – what to read, certain veggies, fruit and herbs to grow and why, where to purchase the seeds or the plant, ect…..?

I can recommend a great soil amendment for organic gardening! It is called Pozzolan and it is an all natural volcanic diatomaceous soil amendment that will absorb and store water and nutrients at the root zone. Using Pozzolan will reduce the amount of water needed to keep your plants healthy. It will also create the perfect growing medium for the plants root system. Pozzolan is extremely porous and will improve the percolation rate in clay or sand based soils. It will also helps to break up or loosen the soil so that the root zone has a good mixture of air, soil and water.

It only requires one application, it will not leave the soil.

It is not available everywhere (yet) so you will need to ask at your local green house or nurserty if they carry it. Or check out one of the websites below, they may be able to help you find it.

Good luck and happy gardening!

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.
