Week 11

This week was a great opportunity to learn about organic gardening. I was able to use some organic fertilizer in my garden and I am excited to see how it helps my garden. So far, organic gardening has been everything I imagined it to be. Although, I will say that gardening with chemicals has proven to not be as harmful as I previously thought. Before taking this class, I had negative thoughts about gardening with chemicals, however after hearing Professor Nunez talk about how chemicals are not as harmful as they are made out to be, my thoughts have changed. There are still more things that’d I’d like to learn about organic gardening because while chemicals may not be harmful, it is likely that there are pros and cons to each one. If I knew more about it, I would be able to make an informed decision about which one I would use in my garden. Right now, in my garden there are organic fertilizers which I appreciate because without knowing the full pros and cons of each, I would prefer to start with organic. Overall, organic gardening has gone well and I am looking forward to continue using it.
