Today an eco-friendly garden. Tomorrow the world.
There are lots of great ideas for going greener in the garden. Some you can start right away. Other ideas, such as reducing the size of your lawn may be more gradual. One small thing often leads to another and one day you find that you’re not only an active eco-gardener, you are a true friend of the planet.
Start small.
The very first step in going greener would be to water wisely and use organic pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic gardening is growing without the use of petrochemical pesticides, herbicides and inorganic fertilizers that pollute our soil and water. It relies on the use of beneficial insects, diversity of plants, and the use of compost to supply the soil with nutrients. There are more and more organic pesticides and fertilizers on the market everyday. Even if you only use a few organic products and techniques, you'll be helping.
