An ecological garden is designed, managed, organized and cultivated to restore and protect biodiversity and ecological balances. It's a great way to be eco-responsible and enjoy a beautiful garden in tune with nature. Multitanks guides you in this process.

Choose your plants
At first, it's mostly about observing your plant environment: which plants grow there? What is the nature of the soil? What climate do you have? etc. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from nursery growers in the area to know which plantations to favor in your garden. Remember that plant diversity is essential to the health of your garden.

Plant at the right time
By respecting the planting periods, you will have beautiful plants, strong and fight against insects and other enemies of the gardens. It is very important to respect the rhythm of the plants so that they grow optimally.

Promote wild life
Do not hesitate to leave a wild corner in your garden. The fauna and flora will recreate a balance that will benefit the entire garden.

To plant a tree
By planting a young tree in your garden, the word "patience" will make sense! Indeed, for most species it will take 10 to 20 years to see this beautiful tree become adult. A nice gift for future generations.

Treat your garden naturally
Avoid treating your garden and plantations with pesticides. Feel free to use natural resources such as insects to control pests. There are also many natural recipes for fighting certain diseases.

Create a compost
Make your own compost. You'll throw in vegetable peelings and other vegetable waste to create a humus. The latter makes it possible to improve the structure of the soil and to obtain plants in excellent health!

Protect your soil
You can spread straw, chips or vegetable bark, sawdust or grass clippings at the foot of your plants.

    In summer, this action prevents water from evaporating too quickly;
    In winter, it protects the soil and roots from frost.

Save water
To avoid wasting water, favor low-greedy plants. Avoid watering in the heat, the water will be absorbed too quickly. In summer, water your garden in the evening. In the same way, it is better to water every 3 days aboard than a little every day ... You can also invest in a system of rainwater recovery.

A reasoned culture
No, we do not eat tomatoes in December. A reasoned culture is the key to ecological gardens. Also try to adopt this attitude in markets and supermarkets.

Use the right material
Spade, fork, transplanter, pruner, garden claw, rake, hoe, saw, wheelbarrow ... These tools are indispensable for an ecological gardener. There is nothing better than elbow grease to respect the plants.
