Key Steps for Gardening:
Go organic:
Buy a book on organic gardening to cut out chemicals.
Compost:
Compost all kitchen scraps except cooked food and meat, plus garden cuttings and paper. All you need is a pile in your garden and something to cover it.
Go wild:
Create a wildlife area, fenced off from pets with a pond for frogs, birds and dragonflies, birdbath/house, bat box and squirrel feeder. Let grass grow in the summer to provide habitat for moths. Plant native wildflowers and trees, preserving biodiversity by choosing threatened species.
Grow food:
To eliminate packaging and food miles. Good choices for novice gardeners include tomatoes, garlic, carrots, rocket, rosemary, parsley, mint, basil and bay.
No garden?:
Grow herbs in a window box , rent an allotment or see if there’s a community garden near you.
