Gardening is fun and rewarding and may be considered a hobby, talent or both and sometimes it’s just luck.
Nice site about Organic Gardening course. This course will provide the students skills in organic gardening in order for them to grow their own healthy food. Organic gardening is the method of growing plants, fruits and vegetables without the use of chemicals. In organic gardening it is important to prepare the soil for planting of seeds and also microorganism should be present in this type of gardening.
Hello, I heard Diana speaking at Sophie Thomson's over the weekend and wish to confirm about leaving the hay bales on the soil to encourage worm activity. When I went to purchase them there are straw bales as well. Any difference, preference? Thanks, Linda
