1stop Organic Gardening

Hi,

I started my organic gardening website about 18 months ago and thought it was about time I started a blog so that anyone interested could keep up to date with what I’m doing in my organic garden. You might even pick up a few tips and techniques in my posts to use in your own organic garden.

Of course it’s not always exciting at my place, but I am trying out a no-dig, raised bed this spring and it’s doing very well so far. My partner built it for me from old flooring timbers about the middle of September. So it’s been going for about 6 weeks or so, and it’s looking great! We’re already eating our own lettuce, radishes and herbs.

I have quite a bit of variety and have used companion planting techniques to reduce pest and disease problems.

Some things I’ve planted as seedlings and other as seed – mostly organic seed that I’ve saved myself from past seasons.

We haven’t had much warm weather here yet and barely any rain to speak of.

I may not be writing much to start off with as I’m getting married next Friday (2nd), so I have many preparations to make before then. We will only be honeymooning for a few days though, so shouldn’t be too long.

I hope this blog will inspire you to create you own organic food garden, which reduces our negative impact on this gorgeous planet.

If you’ve never grown your own food organically, then take a look at my e-book “Organic Food Gardening For Beginners“; it will get you on the right track in no time.

Warmly,

Julie
