Natural Gardening

What is a natural garden?

A natural garden is a highly productive field or orchard that resembles a meadow or forest as closely as possible. In a natural garden, the soil remains fertile, diseases, pests and weeds are controlled and crop yields are maximized; nevertheless weeds are still present and insects and furry forest creatures abound.

The effort of the gardener is to progress towards a natural environment as opposed to away from one. There are lots of advantages with this transition. Many of the activities of conventional gardening are going further and further away from natural environments.

I am starting a natural garden on a 400 sq ft plot of lawn and hope you will enjoy the coming pictures this spring!
