If you are just getting started with organic gardening perhaps you should look over these tips to help you get started.
Some of my favorites include:
1. Mulch your flower beds and trees with 3″ of organic material – it conserves water, adds humus and nutrients, and discourages weeds. It gives your beds a nice, finished appearance. (mulching is sooo important)
23. Think “biodiversity”. Using many different kinds of plants encourage many different kinds of beneficial insects to take up residence in your yard.76. To deter deer from grazing in your landscape, try placing strongly scented bar soap, or human hair, around your plants. The hair can be “recycled” from a salon or barber shop. (this doesn’t work for Iowa deer, but maybe others)

Adding to the tip about beneficial insects in your garden, I recommend putting beneficial insects in your garden, insects such as praying mantis and ladybugs keep the mites population down as well as many other plant eating pests. “Happy Organic Gardening!”

This site won’t render appropriately on my blackberry – you may wanna try and repair that.
I think one of your ads triggered my browser to re-size, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.
I just added this site to my google reader.
