Green Gardening at Home—Repurposing

Organic fertilizers are the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of green and gardening. Green gardening takes on a whole new dimension when applying “repurposing” to the mix. I love to garden. Through the years I have developed methods that have naturally evolved into a Green approach with little effort.

I live in a townhouse that allows homeowners to tend to their own garden beds; if they so wish. My gardening area is approximately 125 square feet of growing space but is extended with containers on the porch and deck.

This article makes suggestions or recommendations for the average home gardener.
