Avoid fertilisers
- The production of artificial fertilisers and pesticides is very energy intensive, and therefore results in a very large amount of emissions.
- Feeding your soil with compost is a much better option and you can also use comfrey and nettle solutions to feed your plants and strengthen them throughout the growing season.
- Avoiding fertiliser use is important whether you have a large garden, small area with containers, window box or if you have a garden or green space attached to your business or in your business area.
