Organic Gardening is the preferred method by most non-commercial growers. Organic gardening makes use of composted material, and manure to provide the necessary nutrients for the plants to use.

The first step is to determine what growing zone you reside in. The continent of North America is divided into numbered growing zones. You can find a map just about anywhere: seed packets, gardening books, and the internet, for starters.

If you are planting a garden for the first time, it is best to plow and disc it, followed by a hand rotor tiller. If you have a tractor tiller combination you may be able till it several times to loosen up the soil without plowing.

The soil may need to be conditioned depending on the type of soil, such as clay or sand or loam. The idea is to add some sand, peat moss or manure to clay to loosen it. In sandy soil, you may want to add manure, compost and some top soil to make it hold water better. The ideal soil is rarely found and so you may have to consult your local gardening center to see what works best in your area.
