About Dave's Organic Gardening
Hello,
My name is Dave Hunsaker and I run an organic gardening & landscape business in Santa Barbara, California.
I specialize in landscape design, green builds & organically maintaining your garden & landscape. I also install, maintain and repair drip irrigation.
Our overall goal is to leave the least amount of an impact of the ecosystem as possible. No matter what we are doing, we are always looking for ways to recycle, reuse and looking for new ways to better our environment.
Not many people actually have the time or patience to tend to their garden or landscape. That's were we can help. I love to garden and work outside. I love working with the soil and making your garden healthy! Organic gardening includes composting, mulching, and compost teas.
I am here to help. I graduated from the Green Gardener class at SBCC and was inspired to create a business that was not only Green but Organic and Sustainable. This means choosing water-wise plants, NEVER using nasty fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, and pesticides ( I love the bees!), amending soils, adding mulch, fertilizing with compost tea or bone and blood meal.
I use the Green Gardener practices in my everyday business. I also use the techniques I learned in the class 'Watershed wise Landscape Proessional'. Staying true to using the benefits of recycling, reusing, and educating clients about organic gardening.

Composting
The benefits of composting are amazing. Does your gardener actively compost? READ MORE Posted December 01, 2016 at 06:41 PMTime to weed again??
It's that time again, most of the plants and lawn are dormant but the weeds aren't. It's their time to grow, seed and take over your landscape. So what do I do? Use weedkillers and herbicides? Hire Joe shmoe to pull the weeds? Well, pulling weeds is not as easy as it would seem and many people do it wrong. It takes time and patience, but if you do it right, you can get up to 95% of the roots of the weeds and never see that weed alive in your yard again. First things fi...

It's a tedious task but one that will pay you back with many fruits for your labor (sorry). Each tree has different needs and buds differently but most need to be pruned while the trees are dormant.
