In the face of environmental challenges, many French people want to take responsible behaviour. This commitment is not limited to the way they eat and at home. It extends to the outside world. So, how to create an environmentally friendly garden? Here are all our tips for developing an eco-friendly garden.
Eco-responsible garden: the importance of equipment
Non-energy-efficient LED lighting, but efficient
Reducing your environmental impact also requires less energy-efficient equipment, so LED technology is ideal. Lumihome offers you a whole range of LED outdoor lights A very varied LED 230V application to light up your terrace, at the terminal to mark your alleys, you will find the ideal solution for your garden, explains Christophe Coelho.

Environmental maintenance
A garden, it keeps you healthy. If you want to keep a pleasant exterior where it is good to enjoy, you need to ensure a watering, weeding, but also a regular mowing. For an eco-responsible and ecological maintenance of your garden, you can put in place some reflexes.
Optimized watering for an eco-friendly outdoor environment
You don't need to over-consume water and water plants that don't need it. You need to quickly inventory your flowers and plantations to determine their water needs. You can also opt for trees and shrubs adapted to your land and your region, which require only a reasonable amount of water. Then there are some tips that can reduce your watering. For example, if the weather is forecast to rain, you won't need to water your garden. Slowly water your plants, hedges and green spaces so that the water can reach the roots in depth. The dripping system is ideal for this. To create an eco-responsible garden, it is essential to garden smart by watering early in the morning or late in the evening, for example. This avoids wasting water that can quickly evaporate under the effect of sunlight. Finally, you can also recover rainwater.
Responsible mowing
Having a beautiful lawn requires a regular mowing, and says mowing says unfortunately waste. Fortunately, there are tips to reuse them, such as putting them in compost or using them as mulching in the massifs. You can also practice what is called differentiated mowing. It consists of favouring short mowing in certain places, such as the contours of the terrace, and letting the grass grow in the most remote corners of your garden. Wild flowers can thus grow there and attract insects.
Ecological Weeding
It is possible to declare war on weeds in an ecological way. For this, nothing like manual weeding. As soon as a weed points its tip, no pity, you tear it out. But, this technique requires a great deal of reactivity on your part. You can also use natural weeds such as white vinegar or purine d ́ortie. The fern purine, for its part, is intended to combat pests such as slugs, larvae or other pests. And if you cook pasta or rice, you can always use cooking water to locally get useds out.
Natural fertilizers
Classic fertilizers are mostly chemical in origin. To reduce your impact and make your garden an eco-friendly outdoor, you should prefer natural, organic fertilizers or organic fertilizers. To feed your plants, you can even make your own compost. You can do two rounds of stone, recycling your waste and taking care of your garden.
Recycled garden furniture and sustainable equipment
If you have a garden, it is really good to enjoy it during the fine days. Your eco-responsible commitment must not encroach on your comfort. To do this, furniture is indispensable, but not just any one: choose recycled or environmentally friendly furniture. To build an eco-responsible garden, avoid plastic or resin garden furniture, for example for stone or wood. The wooden pallets are currently listed for recycling and transformed into real garden furniture.
Finally, choose a sustainable garden equipment. Avoid plastic spraying, for example, in favour of a metal model. In this respect, the Lumihome luminaires perfectly meet the objectives of the eco-responsible garden, since they have a sustainable design. At Lumihome, we don't want disposable products anymore Our brand is part of an ecological approach. That's why our entire range has an intelligent discharge system, which preserves the battery and thus extends its life, explains Christophe Coelho. In addition, our batteries are interchangeable, so you can enjoy your luminaire at a long time.
