How to make an " Eco Garden " ^.^

6 Great Ways to Make Your Garden Eco-Friendly

• 1. Use native plants! These plants already have an excellent natural defense against pests and bad weather in your area.  
• 2. Native plants are great because they are much lower maintenance, and you don’t have to use a ton of water or fertilizer to keep them looking great.
• 3. Feed your plants, the natural way. Composting is the BEST way to go when trying to give your plants an extra boost. There are quite a few different composting bins out there, all in different sizes. Composting is not only beneficial to your plants, but it’s also saving you a lot of work in the long run.
• 4. Reduce! The amount of watering, that is. This can be done by using drip lines, or a layer of mulch. Drip lines use much less water than a sprinkler, while mulch will hold moisture in the soil for longer and thus require less frequent watering.
• 5. Reuse! I’m talking about your pots! I know that it doesn’t seem too appealing, but if you’re growing a lot of small plants or herbs, then used yogurt containers will work perfectly! And if you really don’t like how they look, you can always have some craft time and decorate them a bit.
• 6. Use Great Design. Create a cool Rain Garden by planting your garden low in your yard, so that it will collect more water when it rains! This will almost eliminate the need for watering, and will also help prevent runoff pollution!

Vermicompost information^.^

• Vermicompost is the  process of composting using various worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and earthworms to create a mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast.

•  Vermicast, also called worm castings, worm humus or worm manure, is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by an earthworm.
• 
   These castings have been shown to contain decrease levels of contaminants and a higher saturation of nutrients than do organic materials before vermicomposting.
• 
  
• Worms are sensitive to variations in climate extreme temperatures and direct sunlight are not healthy for the worms.
•  The optimal temperatures for vermicomposting range from 13°C to 25°C in hot, warm areas, the bin should be placed under the sun. By vermicomposting indoors, however, one can avoid many of the problems posed by hot or cold climates. 
• Worms will eat almost anything you  put in a typical compost pile (e.g., food scraps, paper, plants,plastic).
