Ecofriendly garden

By following these simple tips gardening ecofriendly your plants flourish doing without pesticides, chemical fertilizers and herbicides.

  1. Take away the pests of plants using natural methods

The ladybugs are great allies of ecofriendly gardening because they feed on plant pests, so you should not move them away but you can even buy on dedicated sites. Another natural method to ward off unpleasant creatures “eat plants” is to put 6 cloves of garlic in a quart of boiling water and leave the tea until it reaches room temperature, and then spray it on plants as a natural insecticide.

  1. Select the compost to fertilize

Each year the world produced 4.4 billion tons of organic waste, with all this compost available why buy chemical fertilizers? A good idea is also to produce your own compost specifically for the needs of plants. For example, the banana peels release potassium, the coffee grounds free nitrogen and magnesium and the shells of the eggs for football.

  1. Group plants according to water needs

Questionnaire saves water and facilitates irrigation. Also group plants of the same species helps them to control pests. A clump of marigolds is a great natural substitute to pesticides.

Instead of disposing of the newspapers of bygone days is a good idea to paper with a layer of about 8 sheets areas where you do not want them to grow weeds. The non-toxic soy ink that covers a large part of the paper surface penetrates into the ground and acts as an herbicide. So save paper and you do not use black plastic barriers to keep out the weeds!
