Session overview
Many people have an idea of what organic means but may be unsure of how to put these principles into practice in their everyday growing. Organic growing is more than just ‘growing without toxic chemicals’, it’s a holistic approach that works with natural processes to create an environment where your crops will thrive.
By the end of this talk, you’ll have a better understanding of working with nature rather than trying to fight it, so you can enjoy your growing space and minimise your impact.
