Organic Gardening Supplies
To be an organic gardener, you have to have good soil. To do that, you have to compost. Then you plant. Then you worry about problems like bugs and weeds. Of course, the theory is, with healthy soil your bug and disease problems will not be as bad (because your plants won't be stressed). And you can solve weed problems by following Mort Mather's advice on weeds at The Garden Spot. The organic gardening supplies below, especially the compost and composters, will help your garden become and stay an organic one.
