The Benefits of Organic Gardening

There are a number of advantages of organic gardening:

You can make your own compost from garden and kitchen waste
All home grown fruit and vegetables are free of chemicals and safe to eat

Chemical pesticides can kill benefits insects like ladybugs that prey on aphids and bees that pollinate garden plants, fruit and vegetables
Using natural bulk compost and manure keeps the physical structure of the soil in good condition so ensuring on-going fertility
Improvement in soil structure encourages beneficial creatures like worms which again lead to increased fertility
Chemicals lead to a loss of bio-diversity in the garden because they kill creatures never intended to be affected by them, for example, slug pellets can kill birds and toads if they eat a poisoned slug or snail
There is an additional danger from slug pellets to children and pets
