Because of rising food prices, I want to learn how to grow my own vegetables organically. However, I don’t really know where to start. So what are good resources or places to learn? Organic gardening classes or websites?

Oxnard Montalvo asked:


I have a very small patch of ground in which to garden–3×10′. I do everything organically–natural fertilizers, worms, no pesticides, etc. Last year I had rats so bad in my little spot in suburbia, I didn’t harvest a single tomato. They all got eaten. I tried Urine-Away, traps, (got two), and I am prepared to use poison traps this year. I know it affects the environment negatively, as the rats will die somewhere and the poison will leech into the earth. But if they don’t die and decompose in my garden, and the poison is kept to the trap, I don’t see how it affects my personal harvest. I’d just like to have one this year! I know this is not the ideal method, and I would prefer a more natural way, but nothing else has worked. I want them out of my garden, away from my kids, and certainly not in my house!

“Time” - the sage asked:


Every group, business, organization, etc. has a set system. Some people study it for control not meant for them, exploitation and disruption.
It is like an ordinary garden with no plan for pest control.
What ideas do you have for society that would be parallel to organic gardening? (plant rotation; one plant to keep another plant’s predators; soil protection; etc.)

I would love to grow my own organic vegetable garden. What kinds of things or products should I use to fertilize and de-bug? Any other tips? Thanks!
