Is organic gardening viable?

The fulfilment of a dream of some years of growing my own vegies is the reason I started in the first place - just for the "smug" factor. Unfortunately growing vegies will be actually be of quite some economic importance to me by this time next year and hence my interest in factory fertilisers versus non-factory - I'm sure I will be able to realise my needs without factory fertiliser but if using factory fertiliser will be cheaper in terms of land, currency and labour and doesn't necessarily sacrifice health and/or taste then I'm all for it. According to my research (to quote Dorothy Ann), the important thing is to have soil that is rich in organic matter. If you want to supplement that with stuff from bags, you probably won't be able to tell the difference. Chemical insecticides and the like, however, have to be used with care -- if you use them at all. Ray |
