How to add organic compost to grown vegetable garden?

Answer 1

So, you've decided to start organic gardening at home. Good for you! Since you want to avoid chemical use, nutrient-rich soil and disease and pest-resistant plants become even more important. Our organic gardening tips will have you well on your way to delicious vegetables in no time.

For the healthiest plants, make sure you have optimal growing conditions. For most vegetables, that means full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sun a day). If you have poor soil, amend it with lots of organic matter, such as compost.

Some plants, such as tomatoes, are naturally more susceptible to pest and disease problems than others. To reduce problems, look for disease-resistant varieties. (Disease resistance is usually mentioned in catalog listings, seed packets, and plant tags.)
