Organic gardening replenishes the resources as it makes use of them. An example is feeding depleted soil with composted plants, or planting legumes to add nitrogen to an area that had been planted with heavy feeder. The bigger picture involves working in cooperation with nature, viewing the garden as a small part of all the natural system. Now, combine that with companion planting and you have the perfect garden. Companion planting exists to benefit certain plants by giving them pest control, naturally without the need to use chemicals, and in some cases giving a higher crop yield.
