How to create an organic garden?

In order to create an organic and eco-responsible garden - an eco-garden, it is important to understand the keys to this approach. Indeed, the essence of an eco-garden is respect for nature. Your choices are based on natural products rather than chemicals. The selection of your plants is also crucial for the sustainability of your organic garden. In short, your organic garden or vegetable garden is part of an ecological environment, where the cycles of nature are respected, the health of animals and plants preserved, and the soils maintained and improved. You can also set up tanks to recover rainwater to minimize watering the garden.

Which plants to choose for an organic garden ?

To create an eco-garden, you must maintain an ecological balance, and therefore choose the plants essential to its proper functioning. For example, some, such as carnations, are naturally effective in repelling insects. Lavender, on the other hand, attracts pollinators, and thus has a better chance of growing your fruits and vegetables. Dried seeds from the previous year also allow to make flowerbeds of wild flowers.

Each organic garden is unique, adapted to its environment and climate, so there is no typical model. It is recommended to use the local plants, from your area, best adapted to your land. Do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to advise you on the good plants to use for your eco-garden, depending on your region of residence and the ecosystem of your natural space.

How to naturally treat an organic garden ?

Building your garden in a sustainable way is one thing, but if you want to keep an organic garden, it’s important to pay attention to the products you use to maintain and grow it. If chemicals are used, the “biological” aspect would no longer be respected and its name would lose its meaning.

For this, there are natural solutions. Mother Nature has a good arsenal of ways to fight against animals that can harm the plantations, and it is interesting to know them to use them daily in your garden. For example, there are many remedies based on rapeseed oil or Marseille soap. They help fight the insects that ravage your garden without killing those that make it thrive: no more larvae, aphids, scales and their eggs. There are also methods like iron pellets to prevent crawlers like slugs from invading your garden.

Why a landscaper for the design of your organic garden ?
