Gardener's Supply CompanyA organic garden is an ecosystem -- bees and butterflies visit the flowers and earthworms dig tunnels in the soil. Traditional grass lawn is an ecosystem. A true ecosystem garden (Eco garden) is way more than just a collection of plants in the ground. It is a community of plants, animals, and other living things. It is not just about beautiful flowers, or even about beauty alone. It is a genuine contribution to the health of our planet.

An Eco garden is a return to our roots, a way of creating a tiny chunk of real nature, no matter how small. It is more than just a beautiful work of living art. It is also a powerful way to help the planet preserve its troubled ecosystems. All around us, species are losing the fight against toxins, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. By creating even the smallest refuge for diverse life forms, you help preserve the planet this is our responsibility as the caretakers of the planet.

As beautiful as a natural mountain stream, seashore or prairie might be, it is not an ecosystem garden. It is an ecosystem, but not a garden. To be a garden, it must be tended by a human being, maintained in some way. Untended nature is definitely the inspiration for all kinds of ecosystem gardens. In order to nurture many kinds of life forms, an Eco garden has to provide situations where these life forms can be comfortable, healthy, and able to grow and reproduce.

An Eco garden can contain many such environments, or be entirely of one sort or another. Whether it is a flowering meadow, a shady forest floor, a shrubby thicket, a quiet freshwater pond an Eco gardener tries to create a close resemblance to the natural conditions for the garden's inhabitants. An Eco garden is the perfect mix of nature and garden - it is a collaboration between a human and nature, controlled in some ways by the human for a high level of diversity and beauty, but also very much its own creation, growing largely on its own.



Eco Gardening is about using our assets that are natural and free. Respecting the assets Mother Nature has provided us with. Every organic garden of course needs Sun in order for it to grow. Rain is also necessary, rain barrel use is the eco way to conserve water.Time everybody can take the time to conserve and preserve our assets. Eco gardening is gardening the environmentally friendly way. It involves no fertilizer’s, pesticides or GMO’s What can be more valuable now than a eco garden free of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and GMO’s yielding food that tastes as good as the vegetables and fruits we were able to buy in markets years ago.

"Valuable not only to the body but to the spirit."

Managing the Soil, Most Important Step For all Garden Beds


The whole purpose of an eco raised flower or vegetable garden bed is it gives you the opportunity to garden in perfect soil. If your soil is not rich you might as well not eco garden at all. Your eco garden will grow, but it will not mature into healthy produce such as it would in rich soil. 

Soil is a major key to a successful eco gardener no fertilizers, pesticides or GMO's. In your eco raised garden bed you will want to fill it with rich soil mixed with compost. Most grocery stores with green houses will have this or a garden centre will. Or you may choose to purchase some from a local farmer. Either way is fine.
 
As an eco raised garden bed is about gardening organically it is essential to use natural fertilizers. Such as organic Bone Meal  this will promote the growth of your plants. Lime is also a good practice to add to your garden , stunted growth and yellowed leaves can indicate your soil is too acidic for plants to absorb the nutrients they need for healthy growth. Adding lime will bring the pH levels into a more neutral range. Top-quality organic Lime reacts quickly, yet gently pelletized for easy application. These products are totally organic, and by far less costly then fertilizers we know nothing about. Compost is about the best thing you can add to garden beds.
