Organic Farming

Organic gardening is the practice of growing vegetables, herbs and fruits relying only things found in nature. The main difference between conventional gardening and organic gardening is the use of fertilizers and pest control.
The soil plays an important role in providing your plants with nutrients, water and oxygen. You can make your soil rich by adding decayed plant material which is an essential ingredient in fertile soils.

Eat Healthy! Stay Healthy!
