foliage, there's a lot of tress that give out decorative fruit. The berries that appear on the tree

chokeberry, and crabapples are great varieties to consider using.
Many people think the best green gardens start from seeds, rather than plants. The
environmentally conscious way to start a new garden is to start with seeds. The plastics used
in nurseries are rarely recycled and ends up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or

harm such as carpenter bees that consume wood in order to make their nests. Overall, bees
are beneficial to your garden so go ahead and let them be.

effective method for gardening, but it's also more environmentally-friendly. The planters used

thrown into landfills. Starting from seeds, or buying from one of the few nurseries that use
biodegradable planters, prevents this.
During the day, when the weather is hot, vegetables tend to be softer, which causes them to
be damaged even if you gently pick them. Twisting could cause plant damage, so ensure that
produce is removed by cutting only.

you are allowing it to become stronger, as the roots grow stronger and deeper. The shorter
the grass is, the shorter the roots are, which leads to a dry lawn.
