Tim's Blog

Welcome to TM Organics. In this site you will find the stories of many of my friends and colleagues, from every part of Australia, and many other countries, and a host of pages on how to grow organically, based on over 30 years of experience in organic growing.

I hope you enjoy reading about these people as much as I enjoyed meeting them. I hope you can share my excitement for learning new techniques and methods of growing organically.  Have a good look around, sign up for our newsletter and please tell us what you think about the site.

I only write about farms and gardens I have visited, and techniques, tools, fertilisers and other products I have actually used. I hope this gives you the confidence to try some of the ideas for yourself.

It’s a very busy time for us as we’re preparing for the Organic Expo in Melbourne this week. It’s the main trade and consumer event in Australia and I’m looking forward to catching up with friends, both old and new, there.  It’s a hive of activity and I’m always keen to see the new products and services that are on offer.

One question a lot of farmers ask me is; “do I have to be completely organic?” Well the short answer is…You have to start somewhere…so you might as well “give it a go”.  Have a read of the "Do I have to be completely organic?" article and if you feel like it, jump to the forum and share your experience with us…and the rest of the world!

Cheers for now,
Tim
