Labrador Landscape: Wholesome Horticulture
The best kind of harvests is natural goods. Native plants grow in an unrefined process, which means that in some cases, it may depend only on organic compost, a clean environment, and tender loving care. When selecting for foods in the grocery shops, most of the consumers opt to buy non-GMO, gluten-free, and chemical-safe products to avoid dealing with the nonorganic products’ harmful effects on our health.
Although there is no clear evidence, there are claims that the chemicals used in rearing these plants have adverse effects. It is reported that these chemicals can cause allergic reactions even on short-term exposure. Some are also reported to have been genetically enhancing plants to produce sizable crops to meet the harvest standards. Regardless of how vigilant we can be, we won’t be able to determine if the products are safe, unless they go through chemical inspections.

Home Gardening for Beginners: Soil and Organic Compost
A proper gardening setting must consist of the necessary elements to support plant growth. For plants to have a healthy life, appropriate amounts of the needed components are enough—sunlight, air, water, ground, and attention, because too much of everything could risk the life of your plants.
Sunlight and Air
When we were young, we learned the importance of sunlight exposure in all living creatures. In the case of plants and vegetation, the sunlight is a part of its food process. Photosynthesis, as it called, is a method of processing the energy absorbed from the sun to produce a sugary chemical called glucose, with the use help of carbon dioxide and water. The glucose formed in plants will serve as a source of nutrient (food).

How to Make an Organic Compost Pit With Leaf Mulchers
Organic farming is a growing industry. As people start to realise that their health translates to wealth, the demand for organic vegetables increased. And if you want to be involved in farming, you don’t need to have an advanced and modern farm and use contemporary machines and hydroponic technology. All you need are great soil, organic pesticide, seeds, and organic fertiliser. While you don’t have great control in the genetics of your seeds and composition of the soil, you can formulate the components of your pesticides or fertilisers. Mulches can be of great use in this effort.
The process of scrapping and transforming organic material into pulp is called mulching which can be used as fertiliser. To create a fully-organic and effective fertiliser, you need to get organic waste material and process it into a material that the plants can get nutrients from.

Chemical Fertiliser vs Organic Compost: Which is Better?
“Good yield” was what farming focused on until advanced technology came into the scene, providing gardeners hi-tech and high yield production fertilisers that are based on chemical chemical compounds. And these cheap but chemical-based fertilisers made their way into the farmlands.
In the past, the common practice of composting involves organic waste to make the soil fertile. This has been continually implemented in the present on par with the chemical-based fertilisers. However, gardeners must learn how to weigh the difference between the two mentioned practices of which both aim to get a good yield.

Decompacting and Composting: How to Make Bad Soil Better
Not all soil is equally rich and abundant with nutrients. In some areas, the soil may have heavy clay content making it difficult for plants to grow. When the soil compacts, vital spaces where seeds take root or where nutrients can filter down to the roots of plants are squeezed out. Roots require air and water, so when the soil is compacted, air voids where air and water can flow in are eliminated between the soil particles.

Different Methods of Producing Organic Compost
One of the many greenest and most energy-efficient ways of improving soil quality is compost.
