Are you one of the thousands upon thousands of people who look at organic gardening
as something mystical or from the “Hippie” age? You can rest assured there is nothing
mystical about using “mother natures” own creations (natural elements), produced by the
earth and animals, to plant your own natural garden. The information provided in this
article will dispel the so called “mysticism” idea of organic growing held by many.

A great many people have the mistaken belief that gardens planted without chemicals
were begun by the rebelling “Hippies” and “Flower Children” of the 1960′s. I strongly
suspect that our forefathers would find fault with that belief. The truth is that as
more and more media attention was given to the “Hippies” and “Flower Children”, many
people were hearing about organic gardening for the first time, but it has been around
for centuries upon centuries.

A lineage of farmers which has practiced all natural growing for centuries are the Amish
farmers. Even in today’s modern world, with man made chemical fertilizer, weed killer and
pesticides, these amazing farmers continue to practice all natural crop growing with truly
phenomenal results. It’s not only here in America that “organic” growing is practiced. Many
of the countries around the world still use century old methods of natural growth.

Another myth about natural growing of your garden is that you will never be able to keep all
the pest and bugs out of it. People believe that without using chemical based and expensive
pesticides, you just can’t control bug infestations. Again it just ain’t so. One of the best
all natural ways to control the pest is to use their mortal enemy. Birds! But then you ask
“How can you attract enough birds?” You create an environment around your garden that is
friendly for the birds.

One of the best ways to draw the birds early on is place a birdhouse or birdhouses which are
made especially for the type of birds which frequent your area. Not only do you furnish a
nesting area for them but make water fully accessible to them. You can put something as simple
as a small container filled with water or even go for something much more sophisticated, like
a running fresh water fountain. Once the birds have been drawn to your garden and realize they
can feast on your bug infestation your problem will be solved in short order. And don’t forget
to draw those beautiful bats to your backyard with a bat house. You’ll be able to enjoy your
garden in the evenings without getting bit by mosquitoes. Bats can eat their body weight in
mosquitoes in a night.

Frankly, with more research on the internet or a visit to your local nursery, you will become
knowledgeable and see the truth about organic gardening. The real truth is it’s a great way to
improve your families health and help restore “Mother Earth” to it’s own good health.
