Anyone can start a small organic garden if your plants can get ample sun - at least 6 hours of full sun/day, appropriate amounts of water, and soil that is rich in nutrients and of the right consistency. Whether you use a pot or plant your garden in the ground or small raised bed, good gardening always begins with soil. Plants need certain nutrients that will help them grow and fend off pests and diseases. Native soil may be depleted in nutrients and may be contaminated so it's a good idea to have the soil tested. If you have a local nursery that offers a variety of organic composts, soil conditioners, and other amendments, you can ask their advice about soil. Most likely they will know what soil types are in your area and what amendments you will need. If you truly want to grow organically, any item you purchase needs to be "organic". Look for labels like OMRI or other labels according to your state's certification requirements. You also must start with organic seeds or plant starts. When to start your garden depends on the last frost date in your particular area. Starting small is a good idea to get your feet wet. For in depth gardening tips, visit your local library, subscribe to gardening magazines, or use credible online resources.
