Gardening

Gardening is the most natural way of caring for the environment. Plant life feed on water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide creating carbohydrates and life-sustaining oxygen. You would think that in order to control the build-up of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, all you need to do is plant flowers and trees.

If you would like to start a garden but don’t know where to begin, why not grow vegetables and herbs? You’ll save energy in transportation from the farmer, to the grocer, then to your dinner table, and you can be sure that what you are putting into your body is all natural.

One item you may want to consider is a composter, which turns organic refuse such as coffee grounds and banana peels into natural compost to safely fertilize your garden, just make sure to keep cooked food scraps and meat products out. Vermiculture can help speed up the process; it takes time but is a safe and effective alternative to synthetic compounds, which may become unstable.

Remember, ladybirds and other predatory insects can act as natural pesticides in contrast to chemicals solutions that may harm your garden and the environment.

Also, rainwater can be collected and filtered with the use of a rain catcher to help cut down on water usage.
