Once you have built your garden beds, planned your planting dates, and have sourced your seeds or plant starts, it’s finally time to dig in! Planting is the most exciting part of gardening (besides harvesting of course), so you will want to choose a joyful sunny day and prepare your tools ahead of time. Useful Planting Tools It is helpful to have simple gardening tools on hand before you begin. After you have planted your potatoes using well-rotted farmyard manure or organic compost, you may want to apply more organic fertilizer as the plants grow about 1 foot tall. This top dressing of organic fertilizer can be applied onto the top and side of the rows/drills of potatoes. Be careful not to add too much – 1 inch onto the soil will be enough. Hilling The amount of farmyard manure to add to the soil when growing organic potatoes will depend on various factors, including the soil type, the amount of organic matter already present in the soil, and the overall health of the soil. Direct seeding means sowing seeds directly into the garden, rather than starting them in trays first. This is more straightforward than indoor seed starting and doesn’t require any seed-starting setup.

How to Start Seeds Putting seeds in trays early in the season can give you a jump start on your garden.

Exclusion is another simple approach to organic pest control. Basically, you just keep the bugs off your plants with a translucent fabric called row cover. Row cover is best used on brassicas (“colecrops” like kale, radish, turnip,bokchoy, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.) to keep flea beetles from infesting the leaves. Row cover also prevents cabbage moths from laying their caterpillar eggs. How to Direct Sow Another option is to plant seeds straight into the ground once the weather is ideal. Biodegradable Soap and Cayenne Pepper: Spicy pepper is a great way to kill mites and thrips, as well as repel whiteflies. Add a few drops of biodegradable soap and 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper to one quart of water and let them sit overnight. Apply with a spray bottle directly on the infested plant leaves. In-ground beds are more like a production farm or market garden. These are best if you have more space, a tighter budget, and/or moderately healthy soil that has not been treated with herbicides. The best way to begin in-ground beds is with the tarping method described below.

HOW TO GROW ORGANIC CANNABIS: PREPARING YOUR SOIL

A bed is simply where vegetables, herbs, or perennial plants are grown. It is helpful to divide garden beds from other areas of the yard to keep grass from encroaching in. Clearly marked beds also help keep kids and pets out of the garden. Plant resistant varieties *This is the most important preventative method. Certain seed varieties are bred for resistance to major diseases. Read about varieties in your seed catalogue and choose the most resistant ones!

For best results, you’ll want to start planting toward the end of spring. This maximises the amount of time your plants will veg, meaning you’ll get bigger plants and heavier yields when all is said and done. Once you move your plants outdoors, make sure to put them in a spot where they get as much sunlight as possible, and water them appropriately. Before planting anything, soil should be improved – and if you’re growing organically, this means using natural means to do so. Chemical fertilisers and pellets are forbidden in organic growing. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to give your soil an organic boost.

Timely sowings to avoid insect activity (e.g. swedes sown after May dodge the main egg-laying period of cabbage root fly) In nature, plants get their nutrients from rich topsoil that’s composed of animal waste and dead plant/animal matter decomposed by bacteria, fungi, insects, and other microorganisms. Biologists refer to this as the “soil food web”, a kind of ecosystem that consists of 5 main trophic levels: It’s also worth noting that organic cannabis products may be ideal for medical cannabis users as they provide all of the plant’s therapeutic properties without the presence of other, potentially toxic chemicals. HOW TO GROW ORGANIC CANNABIS OUTDOORS Small gardens don’t require complex irrigation systems, but you do need regular water access. Keep a hose and spray nozzle handy at all times, especially when germinating seeds. You can also set up drip irrigationor soaker hoses on timers to save water and effort. Overhead irrigation (ie. sprinklers) is typically not recommended because it covers a large area and promotes more weeds. Controlling Pests Organically Cover with a light layer of soil, ensuring that seeds won’t peak above the soil level when watered in. But also be sure they aren’t too deep or they will have trouble reaching up for the light.
