Natural Farming

I believe the organic farm are using the animal or plants in the nauture to fight the farm enimies.I think may be this natural costing is cheaper than the chemical costing.

Our family owns a small farm and we never use any fertilizer to make the soil productive. Newly cleaned portion will be planted with upland rice variety, the next year, some rows of bananas will be introduced. Rice planting will go on until the third or fourth year then a fruit-bearing tree will be planted in between the banana rows. This way, the rice will consume the tap soil nutrients while decomposing rice stalks will nourish the rows of bananas and fruit-bearing trees (usually, mango). If we want to keep a portion just for rice planting, we never plant any other product on the area. But we have to leave the are rest on the sixth year for two to three years to allow the land to recover its fertility. There are lots of other techniques to keep the soil fertile through natural means. These natural means may not be as productive as using chemical fertilizers but they are more beneficial in the long run.

I do a lot of gardening. I have a few different flower beds. I also have a few different plots for vegetables. I do not nor ever used any chemicals on the soil or p;lants. I grow these things for their naturalness and taste. Don't need no chemicals to make mine grow. I treat them with love and tend to them all daily. Plus this year I started my own compost bin.

Hi underdogtoo, natural farming is a good form of practice as we could get healthy and fresh vegetables and fruits conveniently other than to cut down pollution of environment due to abused use of chemicals. What’s more this could maintain healthy soil which is favorable for soil organisms. I do some vegetable and fruit planting in my courtyard. I never use any chemical fertilizer which will damage the soil structure if added in excess. I usually prepare my own compose from organic stuffs like leftover food, fallen leaves, dry grass, rotten fruits and etc. This manure could improve the soil structure and aeration. This always enables the plants to develop better roots and grow robustly. Though the harvest from the courtyard is usually not much at least this could help to provide some healthy food for my family. posting and take care.

I have a garden I try to keep as natural as possible. I feel better about the food I am feeding to my family when I know what it has been in and what has been done to it. We cant really afford to buy all organic so I try to do what I can at home.

This is also known as organic gardening and farming. With my left over plant materials I just put them on the garden and the worms will eat them or they will act as a mulch to prevent weeds from growing. During the growing season I will dig fish and other animal products into the ground where they will decompose very rapidly. The skunks and raccoons do not even have a chance to get to them if done right. You are right about commercial fertilizers that "kill the soil" That is they will kill the good bacteria and earthworms leaving the bad ones to grow. Just look at the antibiotics that they use in humans to keep us "healthy" The antibiotics are making new strains of bad bacteria just like the commercial fertilizers are doing to the soils.
