Organic Gardening Pots
Starting a veggie/fruit garden need help!?
I’ve decided to start a veggie and fruit garden indoors (in pots/containers) and have a couple questions. Every thing I have read as shown that you should get organic potting mix to fill up the container. I have already started a compost and it should be ready in 1-2 more weeks. When do I add the compost, in the beginning or every once and while? Also does compost take place of fertilizer or do i still need to fertilize? Do I need to change the Soil when it becomes depleted of nutrients or just add/replace more compost/fertilizer? Any other advice would be welcomed and appreciated thanks in advanced!!! Oh yeah i’m thinking of growing, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and maybe cucumber with berries and some herbs!!
Look for natural and organic alternatives to chemical fertilizers, such as the use of compost. Natural fertilizers, compost and organic materials encourage native earthworms. The soil’s organic matter contributes to good soil structure, and water-holding capacity. Improve the soil with organic matter and fertilizers to develop the best soil for growing seeds and plants.

Your main concern when organic gardening is soil health. You want your little ecosystem to be as strong and healthy as possible to support the plants you’re growing and the beneficial microorganisms within the soil that depend upon your plant’s byproducts for nourishment. As you know, these elements work symbiotically to create the best environment for all to survive. Most gardeners begin with a test kit that will provide a detailed analysis of the nutrients present, as well as the acidic or alkaline reading and the drainage level.
