Sustainable and Organic Gardening Directory
A sustainable and organic garden is one based on the principles of being water efficient and using nature rather than strong chemicals to maintain a pristine garden environment. Whether your garden is for aesthetic reasons or you like to grow your own fruit and vegetables organic methods will definitely improve the growth and health of your plants.
Organic gardening includes the use of worms and worm farms to maintain healthy soils. It also includes the use of compost to add fresh organic matter to the soil as well as mulch and water saving crystals to increase the gardens tolerance to drier spells. Composting is easy and is simply a matter of recycling both your scraps from indoors as well as your yard clippings. By using a mixture of compost and worm castings, you are creating your own enriched fertiliser naturally, whilst maintaining healthy microbial activity in the soil which is vital to plant health.
Choosing the right plants for your local environment is also important. Plants that consume a lot of water are not right for a dry climate and native plants from around one area may not thrive in a new environment.
