Well unfortunatly weeds come with gardening, but that is the fun of it! The only way to get rid of weeds without using a chemical will be the following:


1. Rent a "tiller" ffrom home depot and "tear up" the earth and "mix" the soil.


2. Pull the weeds by hand.


A good way to help prevent weeds from coming back is to make sure you add a good ground cover such as mulch, this makes it harder for the weeds to get light and grow.


Good luck.
Reply:You can start by taking a tarp and staking it down where you want the garden. Leave it a week or two, and everything under it will have died. Then you can go in and "turn the bed" by shoveling and turning over the soil. Maybe do that twice and mix in some garden soil and you'll be good to go.





Good luck!
Reply:First prepare your garden. Get rid of all rubbish. Pick weeds up by hand. Hoe. Mow. Then dig the part where you want to plant. Because it depends on what you want to plant follow the instructions on packets on how to sow. It should tell you how deep, what type of soil to plant in and when to plant.


To organically grow stuff just don't use any chemicals but use blood, fish and bone fertilizers wherever possible. Use manure also and you can get bio-degradeable pots now which rots down in the soil when you plant.


Avoid using plastic pots as unless they have holes they don't allow plants to breath. Terracotta is best if you have to use them on patios, balconies or verandas. Try to get rid of pest by hand but it can get laborious so see if you can find any other gardeners who can give you tips for your area. This is because believe it or not pests can be found in one area more than another.


Oh and every organic gardener should have their own compost. You can buy a container to put your compost in or you can build your own using old logs/carpet/tyres etc. Just something to hold the compost in. Then ever so often add garden and kitchen waste. Be sure that you know what you are throwing away couldn't spoil or grow in your compost. Keep turning it as it rots to keep it 'fresh'.


Best of luck!
