How to Recycle in the Home Garden

Posted 2010-03-08 00:00:00

Step 1: Composting

Composting is perhaps the best way to recycle in the home garden, because it allows plant material to return to the soil, fertilzing the soil in the process. To compost, simply retain raw fruit and vegetable scraps in the kitchen. A compost bin is a great way to do this. It can be any large jar with a tight fitting lid. When the bin is full of fruit and vegetable scraps, bury the scraps in the garden area or add them to a compost pile.

Step 2: Recycle to Start Seeds

Small containers from the recycle bin can be used to start seeds. Some common household containers that work well for starting seeds are empty yogurt containers, egg cartons, cardboard tubes (toilet paper or paper towel tubes).

Step 3: Recycle to Build Poles and Trellises

Some garden vines, such as cucumbers, tomatoes and beans, do well when growing up a pole or trellis. You can recycle scrap lumber, pipes, wire, poles and ropes to create a sturdy structure for the vines to climb. Lettuce, cabbage and broccoli can be grown directly under a trellis, as these garden vegetables enjoy the shade provided by the vines.

Step 4: Container Garden

You can recycle almost any type of small can to grow a plant in a container. Be sure to poke a small hole in the bottom for drainage and fill the container with dirt. Plastic jugs, coffee cans, and recycled buckets can all be used for a container garden. These gardens work well for those with small yards, or plants that need to be moved regularly.

Step 5: Mulch

Recycle your used cardboard into pathways for your home garden. It makes it much easier to navigate the garden and reduces the amount of weed pulling needed.
