Selber machen statt kaufen - Garten und Balkon

Bee-friendly flower meadows instead of lawns, vegetables instead of ornamental plants, medicinal herbs instead of weeds, edible ground covers instead of stone surfaces - there are numerous unconventional ways to garden more naturally, healthily, and simply.

Here are the reasons why it is worthwhile to grow your own food:

Food from a nature-friendly organic garden is healthier because it is completely free of toxic pesticides and artificial fertilizers.

Organic gardens are good for the environment because they serve as oases for insects and birds, and provide space for old varieties whose diversity and habitat are increasingly shrinking due to lifeless designer gardens and monoculture fields.

Doing things yourself in the garden and reusing materials saves money, as existing resources are utilized in natural cycles instead of purchasing expensive pesticides, fertilizers, and other aids.

Gardening makes you more independent and happy because activities in nature are a balm for both body and soul.
