In organic gardening, soil quality decides vegetable quality. That’s why you need good quality compost to keep the soil productive for organic vegetable gardening.
Compost can be made from leaves, dead flowers, vegetable scraps, fruit rinds, grass clippings and manure. The ideal organic soil has a dark color, sweet smell and is full of earthworms. Some soil may need more natural additives such as bonemeal, rock phosphates or greensand. A simple soil test will tell you the pH balance and which nutrients you need to use.
In addition to what Cel said, you’ll want to look for a book titled Lasagna Gardening. It’s mostly about building raised beds, but a lot of the information in it can be applied to any garden.
Good luck!
