Organic Herbs
Organic means our food is not grown in
presence of chemical fertilisers or pesticides (either used or already
present in the soil) and is also not genetically engineered or modified.
Fresh organic produce contains many additional vitamins, minerals and
enzymes. Organic medicinal herbs proved beneficial as these protect us from toxic
and chemical induced diseases and nourish our body promoting good health.
Non-organic food although appears to be cheaper, but it adversely costs our
health, our eco-systems and taxes to pay caused by the disasters that
chemical farming create. Organic Agriculture is feeding people all around
the world.
Organic herb plants are the herbs grown using organic farming methods. Organic
farming does not include the use of synthetic inputs, such as synthetic
fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming involves application of natural
processes such as seed meal, greensand and rock phosphate instead of
chemical fertilizers. A variety of different methods are nowdays employed
inorder to improve soil health such as crop rotation, green manure, cover
cropping, application of compost and mulching. Organic herb gardening is
gaining popularity day by day because organic herb gardening lower or
eliminate external agricultural inputs(synthetic inputs) and enhances
agro-ecosystem health.
Organic herbs growing come under an agricultural production management
program that operate for the promotion and enhancement of biodiversity,
biological cycles and soil biological activity. It stressed upon use of
minimal off-farm inputs and management practices that restore maintain and
enhance ecological balance.
Organic Gardening
Soil preparation
Successful organic gardening depends upon the large part of soil you build.
Start with any native soil and keep on adding the right organic nutrients
nourish the plants. Then the bed is left for mellowing for a month or more
and gets growing.
Step One
Evaluate the native soil. Whether you have tested or drawn any conclusions,
determine its need of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
and trace elements. Use own experience or ask a gardener to teach about the
additional nutrients that local soils need for the farming of a particular
herb.
Step Two
Amend the soil with elemental organic fertilizers. Per bag are having only
one or two ingredients. Find local sources for nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium and trace elements and further be committed for the use of organic
methods only.
Step Three
Improve the native soil by adding organic matter that serves two important
benefits - more water retention and better drainage. Animal manure is
combined with organic matter and nutrients along with other organic matter
such as ground bark, compost, leaf mold or peat moss.
Step Four
Read fertilizer labels and applies the amount to the garden area in the
same quantity as mentioned on the labels. Use this rule for adding organic
matter - 3 inches of native soil can suitably incorporate 4 to 6 inches of
combined manure, compost and other nutrients.
Step Five
Add an inch of sand to this mixture plus lime if indicated after that start
digging the elements together. Finally make it sure that no separate layers
form after tilling.
Propagation
Propagation is the most crucial part of a plant’s life because if
there is no successful propagation, plants can’t live long to
reproduce. Cloning is considered as one of the most exciting propagation
techniques because it facilitates a gardener to reproduce any favorite
plant. But as compared to propagation the process seems to be a bit
challenging. The main purpose of a growing medium is to hold oxygen, water
and nutrients and enchors the root system providing proper support.
