Everyone knows that we should help the environment. Yet what
should we consider when maintaining a garden? This article
describes five ways which will help you create a beautiful and
environmentally friendly garden all at once. It doesn’t matter
whether you have 100 square meters or only a few potted plants
on the balcony- even the smallest garden helps! 1. Refrain from
using pesticides. Not only do pesticides kill or chase away many
living organisms that are not targeted, such as ladybugs, they
can also cause bioaccumulation and eutrophication.
Bioaccumulation is the process when a small organism consumes a
small amount of poison, and its predator, for example a mouse or
cat, consumes many organisms and thereby a lot of poison.
Eutrophication on the other hand is when the pesticide gets
flushed into a water body and causes algae to grow there. This
smothers all other life forms in the water. As an alternative,
if you really need to control some pests, there are many
biological pest controls available nowaday
