The essential checklist for starting your first organic garden
In short: Landscape designer Jenn Nawada explains the strict requirements for organic gardening. Learn why every single component of your garden must meet specific certification standards to truly be considered organic.
To ensure organic standards are met, all garden supplies must possess organic certification. This includes the soil, the seeds or seedlings, and even the potting material.
When selecting containers, ceramic or cedar planters are recommended. If you are planting directly into the ground, you must dig out the existing soil and replace it with organic soil to ensure the environment remains truly organic.
