Posted by anand On August - 20 - 2009

Growing Organic stuffs is easy.

organic Fruits vegetableGrowing tasty, chemical-free vegetables isn’t hard. New vegetable gardeners and veteran gardeners, who want to reduce their use of toxic synthetic chemicals, will be delighted with their success if they follow steps discussed in posts available at this website.

I will elaborate each of such steps in several posts available on this blog. The first step required for growing organic fruits and vegetables is to choose a good garden site. If you already have some space in mind which you can use for gardening, take advantage of it. But, to decide the suitability of the space for farming, please consider the points I am going to put below. Here, I will explain the factors which is required to decide the quality of the good site.

why we need a good site?

site for gardeningSo, first question is why we need a good site?  The answer is simple, farming on poor site will reduce your yield and cause headaches no matter how well you choose and care for plants. Good soil is nice, but almost all soils can be made into productive garden by adding lots of organic matter. Location is more important. Don’t hide your garden away; vegetable gardena garden you walk by every day will be better cared for, more attractive, and more productive then one at the far end of the yard where no one ever goes.

Which Location to choose ?

Choose a location which has
(1)  Full or nearly full exposure to sun and,
(2)  Has easy access to water.


So, you must be thinking what qualities (I mean the “bad one”) make a site poor.  They are following:
(1) Low areas where water puddles after rain.
(2) Area with steep slopes, where water doesn’t stay for a while.
(3) Shaded areas or area where tree roots will complete with your vegetables.
(4) Areas where wind blow very fast.
(5) And the most important, Site next to streets where fumes and runoff can cause problems.
Now, if you are in a situation where you have a site with any of above mentioned poor quality present or you are thinking that you don’t have an ideal site, then my advice is just don’t bother. We humans have quality to deal with most problems, just think of something to make such poor site to good site.

(1) Prune trees to increase sun exposure.
(2) Use raised beds to improve poor drainage or full them with purchased top  soil if your soil is contaminated.
(3) Build terraces to make steep slopes usable.
(4) Strong fances can deter corner-cutting kids, and hedges or vine-covered fences blocks strong winds and road pollution.
(5) You can even plant vegetables in planters on decks or paved areas if they are your only sunny space.
