Many horse farms will give you their horse manure for free if you ask. Some will even transport it to your door for a small fee. Horse manure is rich in vitamins and minerals that plants crave. Usually, the manure is blended with wood shavings to reduce the smell. For the serious organic, make sure that the shavings used are also organic.
Use compost to improve your soil structure, texture and aeration. Compost will also help to increase your soils water holding capacity so you will have to water less often. Compost also promotes soil fertility and stimulates healthy root development. When your soil is happy and healthy your plants will grow healthy and strong.
If you aren't ready to devote your time and energy to a full organic garden or just don't have the space for one, use a container instead. Look for plants that are small and well suited for containers. Whiskey barrels are great for container gardens because they have plenty of room for roots to grow and can be used for multiple varieties of plants.
If you plan to begin your organic garden from seed, be sure to start well in advance of the gardening season. Start seeds indoors so that you will have established seedlings ready to put in the ground after the last frost. Follow the instructions found on the back of your seed packets to determine the appropriate time to start the seeds for your climate.
