  1. People learn in different ways & the internet is a great way to get access to articles & videos about Organic Gardening.
    Here’s a video about composting:

    I learn a lot from the resources at my library, & I spend a lot of time with others who have organic gardens in my area.

    Getting first-hand experience by trying out different ways to garden is one of the best ways I’ve learned about Organic Gardening & how it stands the test of time in the long run.

  2. You need to check out gardening by the yard with Paul James. He has a tv show and a few books and video tapes out.

  3. READ all you can, then start planting! I’m going on four years…and am amazed at how much I don’t know. Practice, practice–a lot of good plants have to die for a successful organic gardener to be born! Good luck, and good for you for going green!
