The significance and benefits of organic gardening go far beyond just your garden. By taking the organic route, you are not only making your garden healthier and eco-friendly, you are reducing your carbon footprint (by not using chemicals), you are also being in tune with nature and you are breaking the destructive chemical induced cycle that has ruined this planet i.e. prevent toxic chemical laden run-offs.

Organic gardening or organic farming sounds mysterious but in fact, there is nothing more natural than organic gardening. The significance of organic gardening is that you make use of the natural inter-dependency of plants, animals and insects. Specifically, some plants deter certain types of insects that would otherwise have attacked your (say) tomato plants. There are insects that live on the plant and feed on other insects. Organic gardening makes use of this knowledge to our advantage and to have a health garden.

Organic gardening starts with the soil. The basic rule that organic gardening follows is that you attend to and feed the soil, not the plant. A healthy soil automatically takes care of the plants and the plants in turn grow healthy and are able to withstand disease and pests and also give better fruit or flowers.

An organic garden prevents loss of topsoil, soil contamination, toxic run-offs, water pollution, soil poisoning, death of beneficial insects e.g. bees, death of birds that feed on poisoned insects and nectar etc. Banning chemicals from your vegetable patch also eliminates herbicides, pesticides and cancer causing fungicide residues in food.

Chemicals in garden produce are not only cancer inducing, they also alter the flavour and taste of the produce. But by going organic, you get to savour the original uncontaminated nature intended flavour and taste of the produce. This is a major significance and benefit of organic gardening.

The richness and health of the soil due to organic gardening, also enhances the vitamin and mineral content of the produce from your vegetable patch. Soil testing confirms that produce from organic garden has 27% more Vitamin C, 29% more Magnesium, 21% more Iron and 14% more Phosphorous. Also potatoes, cabbage, lettuce and spinach have hire levels of a trace mineral called Cleeton.

The basic significance and benefit of organic Garden Maintenance is that improves health of the soil, health of the plant, our own health and health of the environment and the planet as a whole. It does this because organic gardening eliminates toxic synthetic chemicals. Apart from all these benefits, organic gardening also saves you a ton of money that you would otherwise have spent on buying chemicals and spraying devices.

Organic gardening is more sustainable because it uses nature and natural means of growing and controlling pests. Using left-overs from the kitchen as foundation for compost means less waste is sent to the local landfill.
