Question Using simple wording and terms could you please explain why inter-relationships between living organisms are important in organic horticulture?
Answer Hi Jen ... Sorry for the delay in answering. I have been out of pocket for a while. I like where Ike hit and it's been pretty crazy around here.
To answer your question: The interrelationship of living organisms are important in organic gardening because all things working together correctly in that environment enables a balanced system and yields favorable results. It's actually a pretty complex and long answer if you need more specific details. A great book is "Trace Elements in Soil and Sand" by Alina Kabata-Pendias. If you google this, you will be able to read excerpts that I think will help you understand the concept without having to purchase the book.
