I try to enrich the garden all of the time by adding organic waste material to it as often as I can. I eat a lot of fruit and I throw the peals and other parts that I do not eat onto the garden so that they will go into the ground when I turn it over in the spring. The earthworms will take care of these products after the bacteria break it down for them. I will also be adding peat moss and other materials such as manure (cattle and maybe horse or any other manure that I can find) to be turned into good garden fertility. I do not use man made fertilizers as they often will kill the earthworms and other beneficial organisms in the soil.

Hi,
Here in our places the cultivators are giving now to more organic cultivations and as the organic cultivated products are demands more. But I do hope it is very rare that organic manuring is done in gardens that too could enrich the soil and also balance other aspects. I do hope now more of organic manures are available in market too. It do harm the plants and the environment much that is really a nice one.

this is me, and I, like you, am into organics. Ihave Jerry Baker books for greengrass and backyard tonics and miracle tonics . man there is some great stuff in there. But he says to make compost then put it into the garden by tilling, so as to mix,everything up, and give the garden the best, start!
