If you’re looking for a cost-effective way of enhancing your garden, you should seriously consider mulch bins.  As it’s beneficial to improve the soil around your trees and vegetables, mulching can help you get access to unlimited amounts of free organic fertilizer. Aside from cost-saving benefits, you also do your part in saving the environment by properly dealing with your garden and household waste. By doing this, you can also avoid using commercial fertilizers that may not be good for the environment.

Mulched gardens are healthier, more resistant to drought, and they are at least 85% weed-free. This means that by having mulch bins in your garden, you will spend less time weeding and watering. In addition, you won’t have to spend as much time trying to fight pest that can ruin not just your plants but also your entire lawn.

After getting your mulch bins, the next thing that you need to understand is the type of mulch that you can use for your garden – organic or inorganic. The first one involves the use of chopped leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, pine needles, and even paper. Inorganic, on the other hand, includes the use of landscape fabrics such as black plastic, gravel, geotextile, and stones. Although both discourage weeds, organic mulches are your best options for your garden and lawn as they help improve the soil as they decompose. They are also environment-friendly.

The by-products of basic lawn and garden care (including weeding, pruning, and mowing) results to a pile of waste that you cannot simply throw away in the same way you dispose other types of garbage. If you add your garden clippings to regular waste materials, they will occupy some serious space in landfills and that’s something that Mother Nature won’t appreciate.

You basically have two environment-friendly options when in the process of getting rid of your garden clippings. Your first option is making a compost pile in your yard. This allows you to use your garden waste into good use as they will supply nutrients to your plants. As for your grass clippings, as long as they do not exceed one inch long, you can leave them in your lawn after mowing. Those that are longer than an inch must be bagged and must be disposed as they will block the sunlight needed by your plants.

Your second option is hire a company that offers garden bags and garden bin hire service. Although making use of compost pile is still your number one option, not all gardeners have the time, the energy, or even the space in their yards to do this. However, by going with second option, you can still be sure that your garden clippings will be taken care of in a most environment-friendly way.

For your Brisbane garden bags and garden bin hire needs, please contact Garden Bags Brisbane. We specialise in garden rubbish removal. Our number is 07 3343 3030.

Mowing the lawn will always be a part of garden care. While grass clippings that are less than one inch decompose relatively quickly that results to fertilised soil, longer clippings are more likely to remain above the lawn where they smother the grass beneath and they appear unsightly. These clippings will not help your garden in anyway and thus, they must be removed ASAP.

Thatch production is one of the primary reasons for collection lawn clippings. This is a layer of organic matter between actively growing plants and the surface of the soil. The problem arises if the organic matter is produced faster when compared to the decomposed micro-organism. Thatch can easily ruin your plants and maybe your whole garden.

If you have spacious garden and if you want to make the process of cleaning up clippings, make use of lawn clipping bags that you can strategically place throughout your garden. This way, you don’t need to drag the bag each time you need to trim a section of your property. This can help you save time and energy.

Compost bins offer several advantages and these go beyond just your own backyard. Aside from providing excellent fertiliser for your garden and lawn, it is a great way to reduce the amount of garbage that you send to the landfill. In a way, it could be a good step that gardeners and homeowners can take to move towards a greener future.

Based on research, composting offers more than just reducing the amount of waste going to landfills. Other environmental benefits it offers are the following:

  • Helps prevent erosion. Composts are proven to reduce erosion on hills, near water, the side of the road, and even in playing fields.
  • Promotes growth. Plants, trees, and soils are healthier in areas with compost.
  • Reduces pollution. Composting keeps landfills free from organic matter that result to the reduction of methane production.
  • Reduces toxins. Composting prevents the spread of toxic matters in soils such as pesticides and fuels. This results to not just healthier soil but also healthier plants and water in the area.
  • Mitigates climate change.
  • Manages stormwater.

Aside from composting, there are other things that you need to take care of when you’re into gardening. Some of the most exhausting tasks are cleaning up your garden and disposing waste.
