Use metal or treated for the four corners and re-enforcing posts every 3-4 feet on the sides.Some organic growers confine their operation to green houses or shade houses, where control is easier.Another rabbit house is to mount a barrel so it can be turned daily."One way to build an inexpensive compost box is to make an enclosure of wood and chicken wire, some 3 feet wide, 15 feet long and perhaps 4 feet high.They can be sold through health stores, directly from your garden roadside stands, or to markets in the area.This small amount of commercial chemical doesn't count as a directly applied chemical.

For example: Tomatoes are especially sensitive to nematodes (root insects) as well as tomato worms. It acts as a catalyst to speed the decomposing action.Perhaps the most needed assistance for your organic garden will be compost, which is sometimes called (ironically) artificial fertilizer.When restarting a compost pile always leave a couple inches of the old compost on the ground to act as "starter".When advertising your organically grown produce, be sure to emphasize the "all natural" aspects, which is one of your best selling points.There are also "organic" pesticides that are used, but one must be very careful not to step over the line to toxic chemicals and lose their "organically grown" label!

As you learn more and more about organic gardening, you will discover many other tricks that work in your area. Only natural fertilizers and pest repellents are used to qualify for the higher, health food prices. Some may look bad but do a lot of good. Many organic gardeners routinely place marigolds and other insect repelling plants between rows and/or 5 castor beans to help repel flies and moles.The latter is reputed to kill nematodes which become tangled in the thick rye roots.Setting up to grow health foods is very much like readying a normal garden, except that you take special care to avoid the use of "forbidden" chemicals.Organic gardeners learn which insects and garden denizens are helpers and which are "bad news".

This won't work with larger pieces, but does fine with the light material. Of course, if you use heavier products, such as wood that has gone through a compost machine, it will take a little longer.By subscribing to a good organic gardening magazine, and trial and error in your particular locale, you will soon become an expert for the products you raise. All plant parts that are not otherwise used (or diseased) are recycled into compost, along with other materials that you have on hand or can buy inexpensively.State universities and some large (especially, chain) nurseries will often provide this service at little or no charge.

Depending on the needs of your soil, it may be necessary to add specifics to attain the desired composition. The barrel can either be mounted on rollers or have axles welded on each end and fit into receptacles on a sturdy stand. Some are ironclad rules; others may be debatable, but in the final analysis, what works for you is best for you! Some organic gardeners NEVER plant anything in the same row twice, to reduce the possibility of pests and disease. Add more clippings as the pile shrinks (decomposes).
