10 Basic Things To Do On EARTH DAY

WHAT COULD WE DO FOR EARTH DAY?

10 Basic Things To Do On EARTH DAY

1. Grow and maintain your own food and shop local. Help to make preserves from food you grew yourself and give them as presents for Christmas or other special events.

2. Use timers, and mend your irrigation system from any leaks. Accomplishing this saves water, work, and time, and it also decreases weeds and frustration.

3. Place mulch around your garden on the top of weeds to kill them avoiding them from using available water. Passively killing weeds with mulch is less expensive ultimately and gives fertility to your soil as well.

4. Place a mulch bucket in your kitchen and take it to the compost or mulch bin or dump it on top of the weeds in the garden. A good deal of our garbage is in reality a hidden treasure for our garden. Sticks, leaves, avocado skins, carrot tops, egg shells, banana peels, and grass clippings can all be used to assist the soil in your garden.

5. Join or create a home gardening club to make like-minded friends, and have fun with their meetings and their tours of motivating gardens.

6. Put the compost bin inside the break room at your job and label it "coffee grounds." Bring it home everyday and empty it within your garden. Your soil will show its thankfulness with healthier plants.

7. Plant trees, flowers, or shrubs in your yard or garden for beauty, or for some other type of beneficial purpose, like to shade your house and lower energy bills, or possibly to refoliate a barren area.

8. Save yourself some large containers and re-purpose them for container gardening; they require hardly any space.

9. Recycle your paper products. Newspaper, cardboard, and brown paper bags work great as mulch and doubles as a stepping stone (until it decomposes into compost). If you add it onto a weed, it may well kill it without any chemicals or work on your part.

10. Add some beneficial critters to live in your garden. Beneficial soil fungi and bacteria, earthworms, lady bugs, and praying mantises can generally be either purchased online or in the local nursery garden center.

Gardening can aid you to be healthier in a number of ways. It's rewarding and straightforward, and you need not be rich to do it!
