Zero waste gardening is about minimising inputs to your garden and maximising outputs by using everything. This means doing things like harnessing sunlight, capturing rainwater and using every part of a plant to make the most of natural assets in your growing space.
It also means creating healthy soil, making your own fertiliser instead of buying it, and composting kitchen waste, so that nothing is wasted and everything is utilised. Making your own mulch helps retain moisture in soil so can cut down on the amount of water needed for irrigation, as well as prevent weeds flourishing so you don't have to resort to chemicals. Make your motto 'waste nothing and save everything', and you will soon be on your way to achieving zero waste gardening.
