Beautifully maintained garden adds beauty to houses. Apart from that it radiates closeness to the environment and has some refreshing effects. However, many techniques and means of keeping a garden are covertly posing threats to the environment instead of being a help.

Synthetic fertilizers and chemical-based pesticides and garden necessities are some of the environmentally dangerous things in a garden. Though they are needed, you can do without them. Some eco-friendly alternatives can even surpass their positive effects. The use of natural rust removers to keep garden tools and other garden items rust free is one of those alternatives. But what can you do with the rest?

Here are some tips that can help you make your garden truly organic

• Make your own compost. All it needs is a small pit in your backyard. Use grass clippings, food remains and withering leaves. It will make a good fertilizer.

• Use local plants in your garden. The fact that they are already accustomed to the climate and the quality of soil in your area will make them require less care. And that includes water and fertilizer consumption.

• Water your plants in the morning. The low temperature minimizes the amount of water evaporated. You can collect and use rainwater to reduce your fresh water consumption.

• Recycle newspapers as garden beds. Soak them with water and cover them with soil and compost that you made.

• Kill weeds on patio or sidewalk cracks with boiling water.
