Starting an Organic Vegetable Garden: Compost, Seeds, and Season-Long Care

Organic vegetable gardening starts months early with compost (bin or pile—wood or drilled plastic). Ready in months to a year. Work 2–3" into soil 3 weeks pre-plant. Use certified organic seeds/plants (local nursery or mail-order). Water, weed regularly. No synthetic feeds needed if compost is good. Family-friendly, eco-safe, delicious results.
