What "organic" means in gardening

Organic gardening is a method of growing plants without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms. Instead, it focuses on using natural sources of nutrients, such as compost and manure, to fertilize plants, and natural pest control methods, such as companion planting and beneficial insects, to control pests. Organic gardening also involves using sustainable practices, such as crop rotation and water conservation, to maintain soil health and reduce environmental impact. The aim of organic gardening is to produce healthy, nutritious, and environmentally friendly crops.
