Environmentally friendly garden products
Every one of us has the ability to make a positive difference to the health of our amazing planet, and this can be something as simple as selecting gardening products that have a low environmental impact rating. Overuse of any garden product can lead to chemical and nutrient pollution in our waterways as well as potentially impacting on beneficial critters in our own garden.
- Use non-chemical methods to prevent pest and disease problems in the garden as the first line of defence. [www.sgaonline.org.au]
- When buying chemicals for use in the garden, choose low environmental impact alternatives using Sustainable Gardening Australia's Green Up Product Guide. [link]
