I will be buying a new huse this year butr I intend to lput in an organic garden

I think what you are planning is an awsome idea. I will be more then happy to join you in the gardening adventure. I have heard the alpaca manure is quite cheap to get. I have not done much gardening so I hope you will teach me alot about gardening.

Indeed super duper!. I have no access to animal manure but I have my own compost made from kitchen waste, dry leaves and used soil from the garden. This is allowed to stay for a year and by then it becomes good compost. You are on the right path and my best wishes are with you.

I think you have a great plan and I hope it works out for you! You might want to have your soil tested next year to see if you need to lime it or acidify it. City dirt tends to need amending more, I think. The manure is great, though.

Hi,this may useful for you. Some important facts you should know about organic farming: • Consumer demand for organically grown foods and livestock products are increasing. Sales of organic products are the fastest growing sector of agriculture. Sales continue to grow by over 20% annually and have shown an annual increase of at least 20% during the last 6 years. • Over the next 10 years analysts are projecting total sales of organic products to exceed one hundred billion dollars worldwide. The vast majority of growth will in occur in the United States, Japan and throughout Europe. (Source – IFOAM, International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movement) • Large corporations such as McDonalds (with organic milk being sold in Sweden), Lufthansa, Swiss Air and Nestlé are positioning their products and services to cater to the organic consumer. • Thousand of corporations are targeting consumers worldwide by adding organic foods to their product lines. • Since October of 2002,organic farms must undergo an annual inspection by a licensed Certifier to determine if the they’re operating under specific guidelines to be certified as producing organic foods and livestock. • Organic farming can actually save farmers money and give them significantly better returns on land and resource utilization as compared to conventional farming.

Wow, you have everything well-planned. I can only envy people like you who can do all of those things. I do not know much about planting and farming and I envy people who do have the know-how to plant their own food.

Sounds like an excellent idea. If you find it's not practical to start the garden this year, you can always grow some quick crops in growbags and then use the spent compost to improve the soil, or even start a few plants off in big pots where you are living now. One thing to consider is what's in it now. If your new garden is currently full of Japanese knotweed, for instance, then you'll need to get rid of it properly first. And if the soil is very contaminated you'll need to do more than just improve it. Good luck!
