Organic Rose Gardening: Learn How To Save Money By Going Organic

So you want to go organic huh? What is your definition of organic rose gardening? Do you think it's just fad, something evolved from the love and peace era of the baby boomers. If that is what you think you may want to rethink that. Ask yourself, what did gardeners do before chemicals and pesticides? We wouldn't want to think that before man made fertilizer there were no flowers cultivated. They grew their roses and other plants organically!

It's Not Space Age Technology

Now it is becoming increasingly more popular as our worldly concerns turn to conservatism and ecological awareness. Erudite gardeners are not buying into sales pitches that tell them without this chemical your garden will suffer and your property will look run down. Back to the earth is the movement. For ages before there were synthetics to grow with, good gardeners have been growing great roses, protecting children and animals from harmful chemicals.

OK, so now we know that growing organically is not some sci-fi experiment that we learned from going to the moon. No, organic simply means using natural fertilizers that take their origin in animals or vegetable matter and not a chemical laboratory. They are devoid of anything synthetic and this type of gardening includes non synthetic pest control as well.

Before Chemicals

It has always been an organic process, you probably learned about photosynthesis in school. So we know that plants will take natural water and sunlight and make natural energy, and it's only natural that they get nutrition from the soil, naturally through their roots.

In this age of scientific discovery we have watched scientists try experiment after experiment in a vain attempt to improve on the natural order of the universe, as if they were somehow more intelligent than the whole. We have witnessed an erosion of our atmosphere and a dilution of our planets resources as a result. More than dilution indeed, they breed contamination.

Put Away Your Wallet

Nature has endowed our earth with bacteria, fungus, nematodes and worms. All of these, plus other organisms, breakdown and supplement the soil with nutrition for vegetation. This in turn is nutrition for animals and man. The worms and the bacteria don’t respond well to chemical and insecticides thus the natural organisms in the soil are destroyed and replaced.

This interruption of the natural food supply leaves our roses craving for more of the synthetic. The plants seem to become dependent on the chemicals as a drug addict becomes dependent. So my friend, the more chemicals you buy, the more you are going to need to buy, and pretty soon your hobby will have to be augmented by a second job. Well, maybe that’s extreme but you can see how beneficial it is for the Big Agriculture Business to get all growers hooked on their fertilizer.

Look To History

We have all heard we can learn from history, and also we hear history repeats itself. In these days of modern technology our beliefs are, it's over done. In an effort to monopolize the worlds food control Big Agriculture Business has introduced genetically modified foods, GMO, there has been a dearth of studies that prove it beneficial and a sufficient supply of studies that say they contaminate organic soil.

Do we really want our soil so contaminated that we have no choice but to add chemicals and insecticides? Fertilizers we are forced to purchase or there will be no food grown, no plants to brighten our earth?

So we want to congratulate you on your interest in organic rose gardening and organic gardening in general. We would also like to encourage you to become active in trying to influence your government representatives to discourage bio-chemical engineering of our food supply and encourage organic local farming. It's good for the local economy and good for our health and well being.
