How to start organic gardening?

Q: There is a small open space in front of my apartment and I plan to start a garden on my own. I am fond of gardening but do not want to use synthetic products. Any ideas on organic gardening?

Organic gardening is gardening not using synthetic products like pesticides and fertilizers. You can make use of compost in the soil. Adding organic matter improves any soil's texture as well as attracting soil organisms that create nutrients in the soil.Many insects and larger animals are also considered beneficial. Select plants that are suited to your site conditions.
