A subculture of eco-friendly young people has emerged in recent years. People are beginning to awaken that we as a society are doing immeasurable harm to the earth. This damage will be undetectable for at least a generation, which means that our grandchildren and children will suffer from our negligence.
In part, the technological boom and industry are to blame, and in part we are to blame. Individually, we can all work towards a better world by including organic products in your diet and including organic methods in our gardening. If we all work together, we can help reverse the damage that this generation has done to Mother Nature.
In this article, you will learn exactly how to incorporate biological methods into your gardening and lead a healthier and more ecological lifestyle.
Use organic plant products
The first step to becoming completely organic is to use organic products. The experts at PlanetNatural, a website for organic garden supplies, say that one hundred percent of natural products work. Better buy organic products than chemically infused products that destroy the ecosystem and plants you want to grow long term.
Eliminate weeds without weed killers
One of the most difficult tasks when getting started with organic horticulture is to remove weeds without weed killers. Weed killers are often the place to go for an overgrown piece of weed, but weed killers can kill thousands of insects and destroy your soil. Instead of killing weeds, cut off all weeds at ground level and remove what you can by digging them away. Cover the rest of the weed with mulch to prevent sunlight from reaching the weed and let it stand for a few months – this will kill most of the weeds – what is left over is also easier to handle.
Plant carefully
Think about where you want to plant vegetables, fruit, bushes, or flowers. Plants need at least six hours of sunlight a day to grow well. Plant them in places where they can receive sunlight, as we all know that a happy plant is a plant that grows better. If your plants are stressed about what they can be, they will not grow properly. Place them in a place where they get the right amount of sunlight, but do not burn and dry out.
Check your pH
Make sure you choose plants that fit your soil pH well. You can pick up soil pH kits from your local garden center. They are very easy to use and do not require scientific expertise. You need to make sure you choose plants that match your soil pH exactly. If you choose plants that grow on sand dunes and try to put them in clay, this may not work. Once you have identified your soil and checked its pH, you can start planting depending on the soil type.
Build a pond
Build a pond instead of having to kill pests with nasty chemicals. A pond attracts many different species of animals that help kill pests that attack your plants. A pond also creates a harmonious environment for your garden and makes your living space much more beautiful and relaxing. A pond can be easily built by simply digging a hole, filling it with a tarp and stones to weigh it down, and then filling it with water. You can attract different types of flies, newts and insects depending on where you are geographically in the world. A pond can be a great addition to an organic garden.
Organic snail pellets
Snails are the opponents of every gardener. Instead of using harmful chemicals to eliminate snail populations, you should put sand barriers around your plants and beyond snail pellets. This should be an effective and organic way to remove a snail population and prevent it from destroying your precious garden.
Add a bird feeder
A bird feeder can be a great way to bring blue tits – blue tits are a bird that can be very useful for gardeners – blue tits eat aphid eggs that can ruin your garden when hatched.
Store nets
Lay nets to prevent invasive flies and birds from eating your plants. You have to do everything possible to protect your plans when creating an organic garden, as you cannot use harmful chemical solutions. A network should be very effective in keeping unwanted animals away.
Now you know some ways to maintain a beautiful organic garden and integrate it into a larger organic lifestyle. Organic life is a healthy life and you can even grow your organic fruits and food. Organic food is the future.
