I love using fresh herbs to garnish my food. Growing organic herbs is the best way to have fresh herbs for your kitchen pot. If you want to have a good herb garden find out which herbs you would like to have to use commonly.

• Almost all herbs like a well watered mildly sunny place to grow.You can try companion growing or combining different patches of herbs to confuse insects and preserve your garden.
• Grow your herbs by the season they flourish in and then lay in a sufficient store for the rainy season. For the delicate herbs like lavender and dill select areas where you can control weather conditions well.

• Get good quality soil as well fertilized soil will get you a healthier plant with a better immune system and better yield. Add organic fertilizers like compost tea or diluted fish emulsion to help your herbs to grow.
  
• Don’t pinch off herbs till you have a good growth on your herbs. When you do need herbs harvest them early on a summer morning when the the essential oils in them are full.
• Don’t cut off more than one third of the plant for your kitchen use. And hang sticky bars to keep pests at bay.

Other than that you can also use a whole variety of newer variety of completely natural pesticides which will help you to grow organic produce for your own needs.

Diatomaceous earth- is a really abrasive powder found in tooth powder and made from the fossils of diatoms which are really tiny sea creatures. As the powder is really sharp it works with the action of slicing open the exoskeletons of insects which crawl in your garden soil. Once the exoskeletons of any animal is destroyed the animal gradually loses water and dies. You can use this variety of pest deterrent for insects like slugs, millipedes,earwigs, centipedes, cockroaches, silver fish and ants for indoors as well as the outdoors. As the pesticide works mechanically, the insects do not resistant to it and the you can use it again and again.

Garlic based insecticide and pesticides- are the next best things for you to use as pest deterrents. You can use these pesticides to preserve your fruits, vegetables, herbs and other plants. You can use the natural garlic you have with you or use a commercially prepared mixture from an organic manufacturer. A cheaper alternative is to manufacture the mixture at home as follows. Mix up one un peeled onion and one un peeled garlic in to small slivers and then add about one teaspoon of red pepper to boil it in three pints water. Cook for more than 20 minutes on low heat. When the spray cools put in to glass jars and you can store it for more than one month. Dilute the combination with one teaspoon of mixture in one liter of water for best results.

As the number of organic pesticides are really too many to have in a single article this will be a continuing series, so keep in touch.

The whole basis of organic foods is based on the understanding that almost all synthetically made pesticides, hormones and pesticides are banned from use in organic food farming. As a result the dangerous chemicals are not included into your food and don’t end up harming your body and your health.

But how is is possible for farmers to save their hard earned crops using no pesticides? Very easily using something called as Natural organic pest control. If you have been planning to get your tiny home garden converted to a completely organic patch then here’s something you can try to keep your food pesticide free.

Using companion planting is one really great technique that most farmers use to save their produce and the concept is really simple. Companion planting

is a process in which different and specific plant combinations are grown to keep pests away as well as increase the strength of a plants’ immune system.

This is a really great way to make sure your plants are safe although you won’t get 100% pest free plants. The best companion plants are available as a complete listing on www.attra.org. I’m not really sure how this works but it seems to be effective to both varieties of plants to save then from pests.

The debate is always there regarding the worth of vegan food. For consumers who were not willing to eat food which was prepared using pesticides and fertilizers or genetically altered produce and irradiated meats, organic food was the best option. But the cost faction was always there!

For example, the definition of organic was according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture standards, 2002,

National Organic Program, that all organic produce is grown with completely natural methods using no pesticides or fertilizers or synthetic ingredients or even sewage sludge. All most all organic produce like , meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products are not supposed to be provided antibiotics or growth hormones and are not in pens for grazing. As a result you can just imagine the manual labor required to get you healthy and pest free food.

This reflects in the food with a pound of conventional potatoes costing 69 cents when normally produced and $1.49 when its grown organically and 99 cents when its sold as health food!But scientists are not satisfied with the claim that organic food is really more  healthy and are claiming that the extra prices are really a ploy to hood wink customers to pay more for a simple tag!
