Organic vegetables
Well after sampling some tasty organic veg at a recent BBQ at one of our friends house, we have decided we would like to dedicate a large portion of our back field to a organic vegetable garden.
I must admit this is something i know very little about, I will have to do some research, but if anyone as any helpfull suggestions or knows a good source of information please let us know.
I thought it best to start the planning now in preparation for next year, we will start off with a small section and take it from there, any of you gardening buffs interested in getting involved please see the Working Holidays page. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Organic Vegetable Gardens are my forte.
We grow all our own vegetables and its 100 per cent organic.
So perhaps I may be able to help on this.
Preperation of the ground is everything, and when the ground is well dug over and all weeds etc removed, planting an organic garden is quite easy.
Decide what you want to grow, and work out when everything has to be planted.
You live in a rural locale, so finding real organic fertiliser will be easy enough.
Basically add the dung to the ground and plant what you want, using no chemicals at all, and hey presto Organic vegetables.
I know little about what infestations like Catepillars you have to deal with there, but there are Chemical Free repelklants and other methods to keep them at bay.
Depending what has been growing in the ground before, I might be tempted to keep it easy the first year and plant Potatoes to “clean” the ground.
I was taught by a man who never used a chemical in his garden in his whole life, my Grandfather,
What area of ground do you wish to make into a vegetable garden. Planting tatties by hand involves quite a lot of digging
but the results will make all the hard work worth it, and leave the grouind in great condition for the next year.
You could always section of a bit and try other things as well,
and the list is endless as most veg is really easy to grow.
Hello, having your own organic garden would be great. You’ll be able to access fresh vegetables whenever you need one. I suggest that you put fertilizers on the soil before planting anything. But to much fertilizer is bad too.
