There are simple things you can do this fall and winter to take care of your garden and yard in a responsible and eco-friendly way. These easy tips for going green, will allow you to follow organic and sustainable gardening practices that are beneficial for your garden, the critters, your health, the planet and your pocket book! One of the benefits of an organic, sustainable garden is the connection to the land, to the living and growing organisms, and to a more natural existence. It is working with Nature, not against it. This is eco friendly living and eco friendly gardening! You create an ecological community in your backyard.
Forget about the typical fall clean up. There are plenty of environmentally friendly ways to deal with the garden and yard waste that comes from fall cleanup. However, if you want to protect the environment, resist the temptation to throw your leaves and garden waste into plastic bags and send them to the dump. Leaves and garden waste are biodegradable and you can easily recycle them back into your garden soil.
The changing colors of the autumn leaves are beautiful – until theyre no longer on the trees and instead are covering your yard. Here are a couple of ways to be green with the fall colors. Skip the leaf blower and use a rake. While its a little more labor intensive, raking leaves is better for the environment than the leaf blower. Leaf blowers create a lot of noise pollution, and — if theyre diesel powered — create a fair amount of air pollution as well (unless youre running on bio-diesel). Leave your fallen leaves in your garden beds. They will provide protection and feeding to the soil and the microbes. Remove the excess leaves on your grass and either place in your garden beds so you have at least a one feet deep layer, or put them in your compost.
