Does anyone know where there is an organic gardening center in NJ?

Question by Rene F: Does anyone know where there is an organic gardening center in NJ?
We are starting a new garden and wish to keep organic as much as possible. We haven’t found much at our local garden center or large retailers for items such as compost or organic seeds or seedlings. We live in Metuchen, but are willing to travel if there is a store that matches our needs. Thank you.

Answer by Cat
Be sure to ASK for those products at your local garden store. The more people ask for it, the soon the owners will realize they have a market, and can start ordering those products.

Another option is to inquire if they could order specific products for you (if you know what you’re looking for). Many are happy to order small amounts for interested customers.

Trisha divides container plants: Central Texas Gardener

Is your houseplant not looking too great? Are your patio containers wilting? Has a plant simply outgrown its pot but you don’t want to move it to a larger one? Trisha Shirey explains how to rejuvenate a container plant by dividing it or cutting its root ball. When plant roots get too cramped, it’s hard for them to take in water and nutrition. Trisha demonstrates how to revive an aloe vera, a sansevieria, an aglaonema, and a Boston fern. She also explains how to clean your containers of mineral residue.

I want to start a vegetable garden and I want it to be Organic?

Container Gardening Administrator — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:40:15 +0000

Question by andrea: I want to start a vegetable garden and I want it to be Organic?
What are the first steps to start an organic vegetable garden? I know it’s too early to start a garden but I want to be prepared for when it is time.

Best answer:

Answer by Daydreamer
dig over the ground to the depth of a spade, as soon as possible. spread fertiliser, ( animal , veg compost) when you have sown, or planted what you need. only use organic sprays if necessary, like vegetable oil mixed with garlic, to get rid of pests. Straw for mulch is good, seaweed liquid fertiliser also very good.Keep the weeds at bay. If you put out water for the birds and a little food, it will encourage them in your garden, and they will eat the snails and slugs etc. Good Luck!
