Basic Rules of Organic Gardening 

1. Do what you do best. Gardening must come naturally to you.
2. Nutrition Vs Stress. Always provide proper nutrition thru organic means and never use chemical fertilizers.
3. Compost...make lots of good rich compost
4. Control Stress and you control the pests . Never use chemical pesticides etc, use only natural methods of disease and pest control.
5. The Greater the diversity the greater the balance.
6. Learn your vegetables. When you plant will depend on where you live.
Location: Choosing a location for your raised bed is very important and I will cover more later. The location needs to be close to the kitchen to provide easy access for the cook or wife to get at. The location must provide at least 6 to 8 hrs direct sun, with the more the better. Must have properdrainage. So take a walk around your place and see if you can pick the perfect spot.
Another consideration is water, it must have a close source.

Garden Filter: Never use city water in your raised bed. Many cities have chlorine (or ?) in their city water. Chlorine kills bacteria, that is what it does best. However an organic garden requires natural bacteria to function correctly. A garden filter or water transformer will help keep your garden alive! You will notice an increase in worms and in the gardens overall health.
