How to Use Solar Energy in a Natural Garden

The natural garden (also called ecological garden) is the result of a particular style of gardening based on the use of native flora, the recovery of natural vegetation, and compliance, where possible, to all components of the ecosystem well done.

The natural garden consists mainly of 3 types of vegetation: the forest, the hedge, the grass and a Solar Fountain

The natural garden is related to the garden low maintenance, which it shares with the efficient exploitation of natural dynamics, thus diminishing the cultural action, if it differs for the use of native flora and to improve compliance with forms of animal life .

The idea of the natural garden is based on the one hand the growing feeling that the natural environment is now a rare and seriously threatened, the other on a deeper awareness of the most negative of human actions - any action, including those which are the “cure” of the garden - on balances of great complexity, only partially known.

What is not natural in the garden

Garden in general

• The conversion of any natural garden area is analyzed and compliance with the existing vegetation as possible
• Do not remove the existing artefacts, whether covered by vegetation or useful as ecological niche of small animals
• Do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides of any kind
• Do not run any fight against the “parasites”, seen as important elements of natural food chains
• Do not place beds
• It is not intended to massive poaching (but there are routes to natural or semi-paved)

The Hedge

• Do not rake up the leaves and you do not remove dead branches fallen (create humus)
• There is no crop or the trees or bushes
• There is no sickles herbaceous vegetation
• Do not remove the trees are dying except when real danger
• It is not sticky fires under trees
• Do not you do any pruning
• Do not create a hedge with a single species, but several alternate species and evergreen evergreen
• When chipping, do not remove the cut branches, but in part it leaves a protective strains, in part, are crowded into a corner, because it slowly turns into humus, and in the meantime is a shelter for many small animals .

The Grass

• Do not compost the lawn with the greatest biodiversity requires a soil poor in nutrients
• Do not water the lawn with the greatest biodiversity requires alternating periods of wet and dry
• Do not seed a lawn of grass alone: it encourages the establishment of as many species of flowering
• Do not cut the grass frequently, and not using lawnmowers to cut the crushed on the ground (the grass should be cut removed as completely as possible to reduce the fertility of the soil)
• Do not implant trees around the place of the trees is the fores
