Biointensive Gardening

[evearael]

As soon as we move we will be able to garden, so I've been researching everything I can about gardening and composting and I came across this article about biointensive organic gardening. Does anyone have any experience with this? :flower:

Nope. But I'd be interested in learning more.

Not personally but my dad once grew tomatoes organically and they were the sweetest I ever tasted! I've heard that garlic peels are sprinkled around the root of plants to keep away some type of insect but I can't remember which one. I know a lady who made compost and she covered it with a large tarpulin. I hope that's how to spell "tarpulin."

We have an opportunity to grow very high yields using a fraction of the resources. One of the ways we do this is by growing all the organic matter that we need in the garden, or on the farm, that's producing the food.

Good news all around.
