Frequently asked gardening related questions
Organic gardening significantly improves water quality by eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. These chemicals can leach into groundwater or run off into surface water, polluting streams, rivers, and lakes. By building healthy soil rich in organic matter, organic gardens act as natural filters, absorbing rainfall and reducing runoff, allowing water to infiltrate slowly and be cleaned by soil microbes before reaching water bodies, preventing nutrient and chemical pollution.
