Organic farming has started to gain popularity of late and there are for certain a lot of takers for this trend. However, you need to possess some knowledge about making organic gardening supply on your own as it is not a good thing to shell out money for something that you can do on your own with the resources present with you.
Compost is a very important component of an organic garden and you can prepare it just with the leaves that fall from trees. Not just leaves, any sort of vegetative waste in your garden can act as the main ingredient for making compost. You just need to collect them in an organized manner so that they form a significant part of your organic gardening supply.
You can prepare compost in two ways: either by using a garden bin or by digging a hole in the ground to contain the fallen leaves. All you need to do is to collect the fallen leaves in the pit and water them regularly so that they gain some moisture. You should cover the pit with earth once it becomes full. Leave it untouched for a period of 3 months during which the waste item would get transformed to the much needed compost. The end product is what would serve as the ideal fertilizer for your organic farm.
Digging multiple pits is a good practice as you can collect more compost for your garden as the pits get filled one by one. Only be sure to dig them at an obscure part of the garden such that it doesn't spoil the beauty of a well-maintained garden.
Comfrey is one of the most important and most popular organic fertilizing plants. It is a good idea to grow comfrey along with the other plants, in your garden.
