A compost bin is one of the first things you should get. You may also make one on your own. Compost bins are often made of wood or plastic. These are used for the production of compost from organic matter.
Other essentials you should consider purchasing include an insectary, some kind of mulch as well as the right plant varieties.
Plant natives
Instead of choosing strange and exotic plants that will need a lot of care, choose the local types. This is the most sustainable gardening practices.
Native plants typically need less work in terms of pest control or soil adjustments. The plants are best for beginners who don’t know how to deal with more capricious species.
Decrease the amount of water you are using
