What are some sustainable gardening practices I can adopt?

Sustainable gardening practices include composting, using native plants, and practicing crop rotation. Would you like to know more about any of these?

Yes, tell me more about composting.

Composting is the process of recycling organic waste, like kitchen scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil. It helps reduce waste and enriches your garden soil.

How do I start a compost bin?

To start a compost bin, choose a location, gather materials like fruit peels, grass clippings, and dry leaves, and mix them regularly. You can use a bin or just a pile!

Are there any plants that are particularly good for sustainable gardening?

Yes! Native plants are excellent as they require less water and are more resistant to local pests. Examples include coneflowers and black-eyed Susans.
