Four Eco-friendly Additions to Your Garden Space

Your garden is your little sea of tranquility and calm. You retreat to your garden for quiet moments alone, and you sit for extended periods in your garden while the sun’s beaming down on your property. And, in these pandemic-afflicted times, your garden has become even more important: a source of outdoor space at a time when venturing out into public spaces is risky, especially for senior citizens. This article is about making small additions to this outdoor space that are both eco-friendly and attractive, helping you make green changes to your garden this winter.

1. Eco-friendly Fencing 

To enjoy additional privacy in your garden, fences around your plot are perfect, especially when the leaves have fallen from bushes and trees that, in the summer, block your neighbors’ view of your outdoor space. Happily, there are plenty of materials you can use for fencing that are considered eco-friendly – like composite fencing, available via this online store. This means that you can enjoy enhanced privacy in your garden without damaging the environment.

2. Solar Panels

If you’re living in a state or a country that experiences a high volume of sunlight compared to the global average, then you’ll almost certainly be able to make money out of this natural resource by erecting a number of solar panels in your home and within your garden. These range from tiny solar panels that’ll power your garden lights at night, to the full-size panels that’ll generate electricity for your home, saving you cash on your electricity bills. If you’re interested in going carbon-neutral in the months to come, solar panels are perhaps your quickest way of getting there – helping the environment, and saving you plenty of bucks, too.

3. Composting

A compost heap might be something that you consider only farmers and agriculturalists to require, but it’s equally useful for your own garden. A composter is the perfect way to produce rich fertilizer for your plants – helping them grow larger and healthier over time. Using a composter is eco-friendly, too: whenever you have food scraps that you’d otherwise cast into the trash to go to landfill, you’ll instead take them to the composter in the corner of your garden. There, over time, they’ll break down into the perfect plant food for your flowers, bushes, and any vegetables you’re growing in your garden.

4. Growing Fruit and Vegetables

Finally, the pandemic has made us a little more concerned about where our food comes from, and the supply chains that it travels along to get into our fridges and onto our plates. With fruit and vegetables arriving in the United States from all over the world, it’s far more eco-friendly to grow your essentials in a corner of your garden. This new hobby can begin today – as there are plenty of vegetables that grow in the winter months. Plant root vegetables, onions, and beans on a patch of your garden in order to fill your plate with natural produce from your own garden later this winter.

If you’re looking to enhance your garden with eco-friendly features, this guide offers four perfect additions to consider this winter.
