There are many ways in which you can incorporate environmentally friendly practices into your lawn care. By making these easy switches to sustainability, we can reduce our ecological impact and create a healthier outdoor environment.
An easy place to start is by being mindful of water usage and trying to conserve wherever possible, not to mention the savings on your utility bill. Remember, minimising water waste maximises your efficiency!
1. Water your lawn in the morning or late evening to minimise water loss due to evaporation
2. Adjust your sprinkler system to avoid watering the pavement and surrounding areas
3. Create your own compost mix using fruit and vegetable scraps, grass clippings and leaves. Spread your compost over your lawn for natural nourishment
4. Consider switching to organic lawn fertilisers as this will help improve your soil condition, while also providing a good source of food for your lawn through the release of nutrients.
5. Introduce some native plants to your land to support local ecosystems and enhance biodiversity. Native plants are a sustainable replacement to non-natives as they require less water, fertilisers and pesticides and are also adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. You could consider planting native grasses, flowers or shrubs too.
Consider:
