Better yet, I am sure you are thinking what kind of plants can I utilize that grow in a forest garden setting. Before you can begin planting, you must make sure that the soil in your garden is healthy and nutrient-rich to facilitate better growth and longevity in your forest garden.

If you’re not familiar with the zero waste movement, it basically involves ways on how you can reduce your waste. Obviously, the term implies producing zero waste, but I will tell you that while my family has greatly reduced our waste, we are nowhere close to producing zero waste. And while we continue to strive to find ways to reduce our waste, I can tell you that at this season in our lives, producing zero waste is not realistic.

Please note that I am not sponsored in any way to mention them to you, but if you are looking to add environmentally friendly pieces into your home, this is a company worth looking into for those pieces. They also require less work on your home to be energy efficient, which in turn helps appliances last longer and reduces the amount of energy your home pulls from the grid. For things that you cannot mend or repair, such as holy shirts that you do not want your husband going out in public wearing, cut them up into rags to use for cleaning or to rub stain on a pieces of furniture. * Purchase things that are not packaged in plastic, if possible I could continue, but I think you see how simple it is to swap things or habits to make your home more environmentally friendly.
