Recycling

We have many opportunities to reduce or recycle waste materials in our gardens and homes.
One of the most important recycling activities in the garden is the composting and shredding of plant residues and house waste, increasing soil productivity and reducing or eliminating the use of chemical fetilizers. This can be done in the smallest of gardens. In this section you will find essential tools for recycling in your garden.

Mulching

Mulches help to prevent water evaporation and also slow down weed growth, saving you both water and time spent weeding.

Mulching usually consists of leaves, straw, peat moss or other natural materials that are spread on the ground around plants or over a newly seeded turf area to prevent evaporation of water and erosion of soil.

Mulch is also used to decrbe the grass clippings produced by mulching lawn mowers, which are cut into small pieces that fall back into the soil. There, they can be quickly broken down by microorganisms, which release nutrients from the mulched material back into the soil.

The practice of mulching grass clippings diverts valuable recyclable grass clippings from landfills, thereby reducing the volume of waste and helping extend the life of these sites.

Natural Fuel

Wood differs from fossil fuels because it is part of the natural carbon/carbon dioxide cycle. As trees grow they absorb CO2 & store in the wood as carbon which makes up approximately half the weight of the wood. When the wood is burned CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. No additional carbon is released because the same amount of carbon would be released if the tree died and was left to rot. Burning wood is therefore carbon neutral.
