Manage the whole garden organically - not just the fruit and vegetables
Make the garden 'wildlife friendly', encouraging natural creatures to control pests.
Learn to distinguish pests from predators
Play to your garden's strengths, capitalising on its particular characteristics
Make soil care a priority
Make compost and leafmould to feed the soil
Reuse and recycle, to cut down the use of finite resources and reduce disposal problems
Use organically grown seeds as far as possible
Consider the environmental implications when choosing materials for hard landscaping, fencing, soil improvement and so forth
Collect rain water, and reduce the need for watering by improving the soil and growing appropriate plants
Make local sources your first choice
Stop using slug pellets!
Control weeds without herbicides
Avoid the use of preservative treated wood
Say 'NO' to genetically modified varieties .....
