Now buy enough soil-mix (choose an organic mix) to cover your future garden to four inches (100mm) depth. If you are calculating cubic yards that is one ninth of a yard. In the metric system it is one tenth of a metre. So work out the area of your future garden in square yards and divide by nine, or in square metres and divide by ten, to know how many truckloads of soil you will need.

Don't get six truckloads at a time unless you are a physical fitness fanatic, or unless you are ready to pay someone to move the soil from where it was tipped, round to your garden. When the soil is all spread four inches deep on top of your newspapers, buy two inches depth of compost (half the number of truckloads) and spread it. Now you are ready to start planting.

Natural garden pest control will be easy if you start with the right soil.

Don't worry about it if you intend to use the existing soil (enriched with compost) for vegetable organic gardening. I'll tell you why in a moment.

You won't find this in a magazine organic gardening collection because I invented it myself and coined the name. It is the natural way. Look at dandelion fluff floating through the air in the summer. What would happen if all those seeds grew? Nature uses the plantmore system.

The first rule is that bare soil is a no no. The only excuse is that you are sowing seed. Even then, if you are sowing large seed it is better to mow the weeds, and plant the large seeds by placing them on the ground, shaded by two inches of weed stubble.
