A new controversial approach for organic gardening
June 29th, 2010 | by admin |Jonathan White is a respected environmental scientist, and has created a new approach to gardening. He knows it is controversial, but he claims the results are on his side: “the one viewpoint I hear most of all is that gardening is all about solving difficult problems. Well, I think that’s rubbish! You see, I don’t have problems in my vegetable garden. It just works, and has been that way for a number of years. I have developed a method that is based on ecological models. In other words, it mimics nature. Nature doesn’t have problems unless humans start to interfere.” When faced with the abundance of vegetables he is harvesting each day from his small 15 by 15 foot plot, one starts to think there must be something of value here. His garden is small and completely full of vegetation. It looks more like a jungle than a classical, clean, well-aligned garden, and yet, there are no pests, no weeds and no need for chemicals.
