ORGANIC GARDENING
WHAT IS ORGANIC GARDENING?
​Organic gardening is fundamentally different from traditional methods. Organics nurture the soil and help it absorb and retain moisture longer. So over time, it will reduce the need for water and fertilization, which will save you money!
​
Compared to traditional methods that attempt to force plants to grow, the goal of organic gardening is to create a healthy, well-balanced ecosystem. Organics actively take advantage of nature to control pests and diseases. Chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides disrupt nature’s processes by killing off beneficial organisms along with harmful ones, so you actually lose valuable allies in the war against pests. The first thing to do, then, is to stop using chemicals and come to Marshall Grain for the organic alternative!
