Natural gardening is all about mimicking nature and putting nature's tools to work.
Natural gardening relies on techniques that build healthy soil, encourage diversity of plants, keep a balance of beneficial and pest insects, and maintain a more complex garden ecosystem. These techniques help prevent problems before they start.
