4 Ways to Use Recycled Paper in Your Garden
An old nursery rhyme asks: How does your garden grow? We’d like to offer a new, sustainable answer: With help from recycled paper in your garden. As amateur and even professional gardeners prepare for spring planting, many of them will use a sustainable resource — paper — in their gardens. Paper, which is made from wood fiber, is naturally biodegradable and offers many benefits to the plants growing in your garden. Here are four ways you can recycle paper products to improve your soil, reduce reliance on pesticides and enjoy your garden’s bounty: 1. Use paper products as sustainable mulch. 2. Let paper enhance your compost. 3. Start your seeds in paper pots. 4. Use paper in your garden to identify plants.
