 Following these 5 R’s can save the environment in time. The key is to apply these 5 Rs in all aspects of life, including gardening and landscaping. This brings us to the first tip, and that is always applying the 5 Rs in eco-friendly gardening.

Reduce: Avoiding the use of chemical-based pesticides and fertilizers.
Reuse: Using stuff from the household for gardening.
Recycle: You can use the vegetable scraps, your grass clippings, and plant trimmings by turning them into compost.
Reconsider: Choose eco-friendly solutions for gardening. Use leaves as mulch or get it from the Municipal Corporation of your city. Be mindful of your purchases.
Rethink: Think twice before you take a step. It allows you to choose a new method to make your garden more sustainable.
