The less chemicals you use, the better!
So, we guess that if you’re reading this blog entry now, you are an avid gardener yourself, right? Which in turn means that as we’re talking about the ways to compost your garden, the more you should be listening.
Lose Your Lawn (or part of it)
As unconventional as it may sound to some of the hobbyist gardeners, your lawn just takes too many resources in, including your water, your time and your energy. A lot of water and fertilizers are needed to keep…
Mulch Your Landscape
Well, in case you didn’t know it, the matter of the fact is that your garden, your plants, and specifically your garden’s soil that everything grows upon need protecting. Mulching will be a perfect way of providing such a natural and harmless, chemicals-free kind of protection. So, first thing’s first…

Meaning that though hand-picking those plants may be a little bit more time-consuming than you’re used to, the…
Restrict an aggressive plant
While most of the plants will co-exist peacefully in your garden, there are just some specific types of plants that are known for their quick expansionist habit. The gooseneck loosestrife can be a perfect example of such an aggressor. But restricting it may take a bit more of an effort than you’ve initially anticipated.
Protect your bulbs
So, if you’re planting fllowers in your garden, there’s an additional thing or two that you might want to know about protecting the bulbs. This can ring especially true bell when we’re talking about either insects, birds or rodents who are known for partying in your garden, eating thise flower bulbs up…
