Download or read book Sustainable Gardening for Beginners written by Mike Ruben and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable gardening, also known as eco-friendly or green gardening, is a kind of gardening that places an emphasis on using natural, non-invasive methods to cultivate a long-lasting garden. Sustainable agriculture is the practice of cultivating plants in a way that helps maintain and improve the health of the surrounding ecosystem. Sustainable gardening practices include reducing the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers, reusing or recycling water and composting or reusing plant material. Pests and diseases are combated using organic and natural means, water is conserved by methods like rainwater collection and drip irrigation, and trash is diminished through composting and recycling. Selecting and planting plants that thrive in the local environment, both in terms of climate and soil, is an essential part of sustainable gardening practices. To accomplish these goals, methods like crop rotation, companion planting, and intercropping can be employed. In general, sustainable gardening is cooperating with rather than fighting mother nature to produce a garden that can maintain its own vitality and productivity throughout time. Beautiful and profitable gardens that are also environmentally friendly can be cultivated by gardeners who use sustainable gardening principles.
