Organic Gardening Excellence: Tips for Health, Biodiversity, and Sustainability

Natural Disease Prevention

Spray with aspirin water: 1.5 aspirin in 2 gallons water, every 3 weeks.

Water Wisely

Excess water blocks root nutrient uptake. Check forecast—skip watering if rain expected.

Harvest Rainwater

Collect in barrels/buckets. Free, plentiful, excellent for plants.

Involve Children

Fresh air, bonding, healthier food education.

Mulch Deeply

3 inches organic material saves water/money, benefits earth, looks wonderful.

Climate-Based Watering

Adjust for water quality, soil type, time of day. In humid heat, water roots only—wet leaves cause fungus.

Garlic Pest Deterrent

Plant garlic around garden perimeter and near bug-prone plants. Scent repels insects. Bonus: edible!
