Organic Gardening DOs & DON'Ts Manage the whole garden organically - not just the fruit and vegetables Make the garden 'wildlife friendly', encouraging natural creatures to control pests. Learn to distinguish pests from predators Play to your garden's strengths, capitalising on its particular characteristics Make soil care a priority Make compost and leafmould to feed the soil Reuse and recycle, to cut down the use of finite resources and reduce disposal problems Use organically grown seeds as far as possible Consider the environmental implications when choosing materials for hard landscaping, fencing, soil improvement and so forth Collect rain water, and reduce the need for watering by improving the soil and growing appropriate plants Make local sources your first choice Stop using slug pellets! Control weeds without herbicides Avoid the use of preservative treated wood Say 'NO' to genetically modified varieties
