Passionate people are more and more numerous in particular the people who choose to reconcile their love of plants with their concern to protect the environment. Organic gardening or ecological gardening focuses on environmental friendly farming methods by ensuring the natural ecosystem of a garden or vegetable garden should not be harmed by the use of products or artificial techniques.
