Organic Gardening

Here’s where you’ll find the easiest, most doable organic gardening techniques I’ve used in my 20+ years of gardening that minimize weeding, maximize watering and grow food the easy way, in addition to choosing the best low maintenance flowers and shrubs.

Whether it’s no-till, no-dig gardening, building a raised bed, how to plant tomatoes that thrive or why you should grow your cucumbers on a trellis, you’ll find it here.

And if you want to grow low maintenance shrubs and perennials or plant a deer resistant flower garden, you can find plant lists and tips here, too.
