triclke-you need to do more than skim it, you need to read between the lines and see what this really means as some of the other answerers had said

I know. It’s nutricide. It’s so agribusiness has no competition, and they are probably trying to “starve” us out. Sure, we will eat and eat, but we won’t get any vitamins, minerals or proteins.
It’s a trend that’s been going on. Everyone’s really FAT and really SICK.

Food is being used as a soft kill weapon. They will depopulate through a slow kill. They will weaken our immunity through our “food” and chemtrails, then they’ll come in for the kill when they force vaccinate us,
then it’s all over.

Your List of Organic Gardening Supplies

Now that you know why you should grow your vegetables organically you are now probably wondering how to do that.  Getting your organic garden started is easier than you think especially since you do not have to worry about stocking up on expensive, potentially dangerous, chemical fertilizers and other items.  Most of the things you will need to start your organic garden are already in your house or easy to get.

Be sure you plan things carefully and do not just get some seeds or plants and start digging up your yard.  That piece of advice will probably be repeated in this e-book because that is usually the mistake most beginner gardeners make.  In order to have a successful organic garden you need to take your time and plan everything out careful.

1.    Space

Before you can start growing your organic vegetables you will need a place to plant them.  This choice is going to be based largely on your living situation.  If you are in a townhouse or apartment or even a house without a suitable yard then you will want to consider using pots.  It is possible to grow many small vegetables in pots or containers that come in a wide variety of sizes.

If you do not already have pots or containers that are suitable for growing plants you can order them online for surprisingly low prices or pick them up from your nursery.  Make sure you look around your house before you spend your money.  You might be surprised to find that you have several suitable items or old plant pots that you have forgotten about.

If you are someone with a home that has a large yard then you have more options.  You can start your organic garden in any location that you feel will be suitable for growing plants.  One thing to remember when picking out an area of your yard for growing organic vegetables is to choose a location that will get a good amount of sunlight during the entire day.

Finding out the best spot based on lighting will require a few days of careful observation but it will be worth it if you can find a good spot in which to start your Organic Vegetable Garden.

The size of your organic vegetable garden is entirely up to you and based on the amount of available space that you have at your disposal.  Do not be afraid to start a small garden and build up to a large one and do not be discouraged if you feel you do not have as much space as you would like for your new garden.  You are just starting out and working with the resources that are currently available.

2.    Soil

Good soil is the second thing that you need to get your organic vegetable garden going and this is probably the most important part of your new garden.  The soil you choose must be rich and fertile if you want your vegetables to grow healthy and strong.  If the soil in your garden seems thin or unsuitable do not give up hope yet.  There are ways to make the available soil more fertile and perfect for gardening that will be explained in a minute.

Remember, you must NOT use any chemical fertilizer in your new organic vegetable garden!

Most new organic vegetable growers are first tempted to use chemicals when they are inspecting the quality of their available soil.  It is tempting to go purchase a bag of soil that is packed with chemical fertilizers if your own soil does not seem rich enough.  This is a big step in the wrong direction and must be avoided at all costs.  There are ways to make your soil rich and suitable for growing that does not involve using expensive, and sometimes hazard, outside chemicals.

If you are growing your plants in pots or organic containers on a back patio or window sill getting soil might take a bit more effort.  Soil can be obtained from willing neighbors or family members that have their own yards.  Simply ask for some soil and shovel it into your waiting container. 

When that is not an option consider purchasing organic soil from a garden supply shop.  There are places that sell soil with no chemical fertilizers.  This might be an additional start cost not incurred by those with their own back yards but it will be worth it.

By having your own purchased organic soil you will be able to fill your pots and containers then plant your seeds when it suits you.  Another benefit of using pots and containers is that your soil temperature will not be at the mercy of the ground temperature. 

3.    Compost

Compost is something that you will need to help your garden thrive especially if your soil is not as fertile as you would have hoped.  Rich compost will give your soil the minerals necessary to help your vegetables grow and thrive during the growing seasons.  It is easy to make compost using materials that you have on hand especially if you have your own backyard or access to an outdoor area.

In order to create your own organic compost you will need to first dig a pit or two (depending on the size of your garden) in your back yard.

Once your pit has been dug fill it with the following refuse from your kitchen:

Vegetable Peels

Fruit Peals

Leaves

Bark

Needles

Egg Shells

Coffee Grinds

Corn Stalks

Would hydroponics be the way to go? I live on 80 acres, but don’t farm, need a small steady supply of veggies

Can be outside in the sunshine. I already do some container gardening and composting, I enjoy that. Garden has almost always failed because of the hard clay soil and insects. I would like it to be as organic as possible, and no weeds (not the other ‘weed’ either!). Also, does it need full sun or part-sun is OK? Wouldn’t the water get too hot in full sun?

You would probably be best off with a greenhouse, as opposed to having an indoor or outdoor hydroponic garden. This would allow light to come in naturally, while maintaining a closed environment so the plants don’t dry out too much. This would also prevent insects from attacking your plants and weeds from developing.

As far as a hydroponic system itself, this is pretty simple to design and construct. Basically, all of your plants will be growing in solid (not draining) pots full of gravel. Attached to the bottom of each pot will be a supply line for the water. These supply lines are all attached to a pump that pumps the water from a reservoir up through the bottoms of the pots. You would then have all of the pots on some kind of draining shelf over a catch basin, so the water gets recirculated back to the main water reservoir.

At timed intervals, the pump will come on and the pots will start to fill with water from the bottom (along with some amount of fertilizer). As the pots fill up and overflow, the overflow is caught in the catch basin and recirculated back to the water reservoir. After a few minutes, the pump stops and the water drains back down to the reservoir. This is key, because the receding water draws in nitrogen from the air to nourish the plants and prevent root rot.

Hydroponic gardening is very healthy for the plants, as every aspect of their growth is tightly controlled (like changing from a growth food to a blooming food at the right time of year). It also uses a lot less water, since only enough water to keep the plants healthy is actually used, and all overage is recaptured and reused.
