Creating an Organic Garden
Organic gardening is the exact same as regular gardening except that no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used. This can make certain aspects difficult, such as controlling disease, insects, and weeds. Organic gardening also requires more attention to the soil and the many needs of plants. Organic gardening starts with the soil. Gardeners must add organic matter to the soil regularly in order to keep the soil productive. In fact, compost is essential to the healthiness and well being of plants grown organically. Compost can be made from leaves, dead flowers, vegetable scraps, fruit rinds, grass clippings, manure, and many other things. The ideal soil has a dark color, sweet smell, and is full of earthworms. Some soil may need more natural additives than regular compost can give, such as bonemeal, rock phosphates, or greensand. A simple soil test will tell you the pH balance and which nutrients you will need to use.
One thing that makes even gardeners that are very serious about organic gardening reach for pesticides is insects on their plants. The best way to defend plants against insects is to take preventative measures. One thing that can be done is to make sure plants are healthy and not too wet or dry because insects usually attack unhealthy plants and if healthy, they can often outgrow minor insect damage. A variety of plant types is a good idea to keep pests of a particular plant type from taking out the entire garden.
Perhaps the best way to defend against insects is to make your garden enticing to insect predators, such as ladybugs, birds, frogs, and lizards. You can do this by keeping a water source nearby or by growing plants that attract insects who feed on nectar. Other ideas are sticky traps, barriers, and plant collars. There are some household items that prevent against insects too, like insecticidal soaps, garlic, and Hot Pepper.
To avoid plant disease in organic gardening, choose disease resistant plants and plant them in their prime conditions. Many diseases will spread because of constant moisture and bad air circulation, so the site of your garden and the way it is watered can help ensure against diseases.
Weeds can be an annoying and frustrating part of organic gardening. Organic mulch can act as a weed barrier, but for even better protection put a layer of newspaper, construction paper, or cardboard under the mulch. Corn meal gluten will slow the growth of weeds if spread early in the season before planting, as does solarization. There’s also the old-fashioned art of hoeing and hand pulling that always works. Your best bet in weed prevention is persistence. Mulch well and pull and hoe what you can; after a few seasons you can beat the weeds for good.
Organic gardening is an excellent way to assure that your plants will be free and clear of all pesticides and, if taken care of properly, will be as healthy as possible. Organic gardening may take a little more time and care than regular gardening, but after gardeners get the hang of it and figure out all the quirks of their garden, it is definitely worth the extra time.

I can eat forever (nearly!) and not feel full!?
When I was younger I was really healthy. My mum hardly ever gave me chocolate or sweets, and everything was organic.
She still does the same but I just eat so much! And I buy stuff when I’m out and about. I could eat forever and never feel full I swear!
Like today:
I had a bowl of special K and a chocolate croissant for breakfast.
For lunch I had a salad, cheese and pickle sandwich, a small yogurt, an apple and some apple cake.
Then on the way home I bought some skittles
Then I just ate two massive bowls of pasta with tomato, basil, olive and sundried tomatoes in sauce.
Then for dessert I’ll have apple cake and custard.
Then later I might have a snack.
I also usually eat chocolate everyday. I can’t get enough of it.
I am worried I’m going to get fat. I mean, is this normal?
I am a 17 y/o girl and only do 30 mins or 1 hour walk every day when I go to school (sometimes I get the bus one way).
I am 5 foot 8 inches, and weigh just over 8 stone. Will I get fat?
xxxx
You obviously have a good metabolism! Lucky you 
There is no way you are fat being 5″8 and 8 stone, that would be considered normal/skinny for someone my height at 5″3.
If you’re concerned about it, see you doctor, if not, enjoy it! I think most people would love to be able to eat so much each day! Your diet seems fairly balanced – you are getting fruit and veg, just make sure you get your 5 a day x
And don’t listen to the first post, there is absolutely no way you are obese!
