Techniques – Try organic gardening
Did you know? Organic vegetables are commonly thought of as having more nutritional benefits than non-organic vegetables. In particular, many gardeners claim that organic vegetables are better for people because they are not exposed to harmful pesticides and fertilisers. Organic food and drinks are free from pesticides, artificial fertilisers, ionising radiation, food additives or genetic modification (GM).
