With organic gardening, you get the added satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to build the soil through such natural means as composting, crop rotation, and cover cropping, rather than through the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Plus, you get to enjoy the benefits of organic fresh foods that is free of toxic and persistent pesticides.
