Helping You Go Green with Organic Gardening Supplies

By: Dave Truman

Now a days it it's quite common to look around and see people trying to go green. They may drive electric cars or use natural compost or fertilizer. Some gardeners now use nothing but organic products and tools. Organic gardeners need supplies that may differ a little from the conventional gardener in order to sustain their gardens.

As an organic gardener you will of course need a shovel, a spade and a spading fork to dig the soil in your garden and prepare it for planting. Then to take out the weeds and the rocks that are littering your new bed you need a hoe, a scuffle hoe with its forward pointing blade that you scuffle in front of you as you weed your garden, and cut the weeds at the surface.

A pry bar can be used to dig up the large rocks or boulders that can be a problem in your garden.

A garden always can use a good pruning. To keep those healthy flowers on your rose bushes, a periodic pruning with good quality shears is a must. Lopping shears will also make a clean cut on those prickly rose stems to ward off disease.

These are the commonplace supplies of a gardener. An organic gardener may have a few other supplies as well. A normal gardener may choose to use fertilizers that have added chemicals but the organic gardener tends to use natural things such as bat guano or worm castings.

You will need a couple of applications per month of organic fertilizers. When a worm moves through the soil it creates a tunnel and this is called a worm casting. It adds nutrients to the soil and breaks it up as well. These fertilizers are a vital part of organic gardening as they will make your plants healthier and grow better.

Gardening can be compared to painting. The canvas is the ground and the brushes are the gardening tools. Many of the tools used by the ordinary gardener and the organic gardener are similar but the organic gardener needs a few specialty items to make his garden or canvass have that extra advantage of look, taste or smell.

Organic gardening is 100% all natural and great for the environment. Why don't you switch to organic gardening and see the difference it makes to your life!
