Wow, great site. I love reading blogs about motherhood! It seems like there is always something to learn about it. I don’t have time to read it all right now, I found this site when looking for something else on ask.com, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will check back again soon to see what’s new. Please take a look at at http://www.MommaCommuneBoutique.com and let me know what you think of it. Thanks again for this blog – it is really great.

If you factor in the long-term benefits of organic hardening, it will come out as the cheaper option, and the better one, too. And yes, I agree, a good soil is an important factor. And since everything is mostly organic, you can exercise some resourcefulness to come up with something that you need the DIY way. Lots of useful information out there to help you out.

Does anyone have any home made or organic ideas for your lawns? I know there are fertilizers that are organic, but that can get really expensive. What do you guys use?

Using regular fertilizer is just horrible for the earth and our families.

Thanks

If you can use your own homemade compost, even better! (and more cost-savings, as well!) I really love doing worm composting with my five year-old. I can get my chores done in the garden, and ensure he’s having a good time assisting me.

I’m glad for this post. We’re going to be part of a community garden this year and I’m a bit intimidated. I know many of us want to go organic and this is helpful.

I think it just takes more time to develop compost, which is much better for soil and plants than synthetic fertilizers. But in the long run, I’d say it’s about the same cost.

We have found organic gardening to be cheaper as well. I’m really enjoying your gardening series! I’m dying to get into garden, but it’s still to cold here.

i agree–organic gardening isn’t any more expensive than regular gardening once you’ve got good soil.
