How to create a organic garden?
deerocs asked:
I recently had an old wooden house i purchased torn down. the city refilled the large hole which is approximately 3 feet deep with useless light brown dirt and large granite white rocks. I would like to create a fruit and vegetable organic garden. My plan is to remove twelve inches of the top layer and replace it with some new soil hummus, manure and top soil. do you think this is a good plan?

Iron oxide and organic garden?
double z asked:
I was cutting some steel poles in my backyard. Now there is a lot of rusted iron oxide lying on top of the dirt. Is this bad? I am planning on planting vegetables there and eating them. Is the iron oxide rust bad? I can remove it right now, before I plant, if it isn’t a good idea to leave it there.
So it is not dangerous. Thanks Rocky.

Are there any type of animal fertilizers in organic farming?
topakat11 asked:
My sister read something online that organic farms are allowed to use animal fertilizers. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. Thank you.
foodvfan makes a good point. The reason why it concerns me is I want to get away from that as far as possible. I want to grow my own garden one day and I live near a organic farm that only uses vegetables and chicken manure. That’s as close as I can get for now.

Organic matter in garden question?
twilkins19 asked:
We are making a veggie garden and we have applied fertilizer but we are wondering when it says to give plants plenty of organic matter would old leaves around the yard be considered organic matter? They are all old and pretty much decayed so should we till them into the ground and would they help our garden. (P.S. I hope this is not a stupid question but as people say the only stupid question is the one you do not ask!) Thanks.

Does anyone know where there is an organic gardening center in NJ?
Rene F asked:
We are starting a new garden and wish to keep organic as much as possible. We haven’t found much at our local garden center or large retailers for items such as compost or organic seeds or seedlings. We live in Metuchen, but are willing to travel if there is a store that matches our needs. Thank you.
