Organic Edibles

I implement Organic Edible Gardens by focusing on natural and sustainable methods, avoiding synthetic pesticides and promoting soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance.

I am an advocate of Companion Planting, which is a technique used in organic gardening to create a mutually beneficial plant community. Utilizing plants' natural properties to enhance growth, repel pests, and improve productivity.

For example, planting herbs to deter pests or using tall crops as support for climbing plants.

Companion planting is seen as a sustainable approach that promotes plant health and fosters a diverse garden ecosystem in organic gardening.
