Let’s Talk About It!: Sustainable Gardening Tips

By Jeff McIntire-Strasburg • March 13, 2007

Our own Kelli Best-Oliver asks:

Spring gardening is happening! Anyone have sustainable gardening tips?

We're sure you do, so give them to Kelli in the forum.

One thing I'm going to do this year (though not until April): plant buffalo grass in the back yard. It's a native prarie grass that's incredibly drought resistant, and requires little watering, fertilizing, etc. I'm not doing it until later because it's a summer growth grass…

OK, I've started… your turn! Of course, you can always check out our Lawn & Garden information in the Green Life Guide.

   hy folks!

   don’t forget to drip some beer around your salads, snails hate that!
   Plant “capucine” I don’t know if the english word is the same, aphids will be far from your kitchen garden.
   enjoy your gardening!

   I’ve got a gardening tip: bugs don’t like the smell of garlic, so plant it all around your garden to help keep the bugs out naturally.
