Gardening
The whole point of gardening is somewhat to create plantation, beauty and design within your household’s botanic patch.
Most people would rather get there the fast way using dangerous chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but the greener way to it is through this bunch of useful tips:
First off, mother nature never used weed killers or chemical fertilizers, the simple use of natural compost, your used tea bags, vegetables, fruit peelings & scraps, recently cut grass and most usefully any type of excrement are much better use to fertilise your soils and sustain healthy root growth.
To protect, introduce mulch to your garden, cover plants with it, it also saves watering them so much.
You can also get recycled material containers, or “lawn furniture” as it’s known, to hold the growth of your greens, or you could simply use your good old yoghurt containers and similar items.
A really good tip is to just grow your own fresh fruit & veg. Why spend all that cash on organic produce when you can put a little effort and grow the freshest easier accessible food in your own back yard.
Alternatively, in some areas there are community gardens where local people can come together and have they’re own little patch of garden on a large healthy soil, not only does it bring people together, but it gives you a place to grow your own food if you don’t have a good enough garden, or if one at all.
Other useful things to gardening are to grow typical local plants rather than exotic organisms, it’s a lot easier because the plants are adapted to the local conditions and it’s they’re ideal space to grow. And when it comes to watering, water the roots, not above the stem.
Rain water collection helps a lot, place some buckets out, wait for it to rain a little and either early morning or late evening are the best strategic times for irrigation.
Finally, it’s a pointer to grow a diversity of flowers and greens, the more there is, the more they will attract insects such as bees and butterflies and what not, creating a pest free place for your more necessary plantation. Another way to create this pest free atmosphere is to have bird feeding boxes.
