When planting tomatoes in your organic garden, a great tip is to plant another set of tomatoes after three weeks of planting the original ones. If you plant everything at the same time, you will have an overabundance followed by nothing. If something ruins one batch of tomatoes, the ones you planted before or afterward may not suffer the same fate.
Pine needles should not be overlooked as a great source for mulch. Some garden plants have a higher acidity, and prefer a more acidic soil. When you have plants like this, nothing is easier than to gather pine needles for your beds. Cover the beds with a couple inches of needles and as they decompose, they will disperse acid to the soil.

If slugs are a problem in your garden, use a beer trap to kill them naturally. Take a glass jar and bury it in your garden, making sure that the lip of the jar is even with the soil. Fill the jar with beer within one inch of the top. Slugs will crawl into the jar to get the beer and not be able to get out again.
Grow some garlic that is organic. Plant single garlic cloves during the spring or fall seasons in soil that is moist and well-drained. Plant the cloves one to two inches beneath the soil about four inches apart and with the pointed end up. Green garlic can be cur directly from the plant and used in a pinch instead of scallions or chives. When the tops of the bulbs become brown, it is time to harvest them. After harvesting, leave the bulbs out in the sun until the skin hardens. This helps them dry out. Store them somewhere cool, in tied bunches or loose.
Ward off certain diseases that plague plants with the use of aspirin. Dissolve 1 aspirin per gallon of water for a plant disease fighting solution. Spray the plants with the aspirin water to assist plants in battling disease. The process can be repeated every three weeks or so.
