Research Based Development

So now the products that we made are the ones which bring
changes in the environment, but the impact is very low as
they take a lot of time, and the state of the earth is
deteriorating very rapidly so we need some big changes to
take place.
How can we bring it to reality and get the benefits?
An ideal eco-garden is a lush, substantially dense garden,
where there is a proper procedure to recycle all your waste
and composted waste makes ideal fertilizer for the garden.
Also, a denser garden helps in lesser usage of water for
irrigation and the shade of the ground reduces evaporation.
Edible plants form a major part of any eco-garden or eco-
gardening practice. It is also a common practice to mix the
veggies and herbs together rather than plant them
separately. This, in turn, reduces infestation. For example: if
you plant carrots and spring onions together, the spring
onions will keep in check the pests or pets that can destroy
carrots. Eco-gardens also defy the notion that insects and
birds are harmful to the plants. Here, you try to attract
insects and birds that feed on the latter. Birds can also keep
snails and caterpillars away from the garden. Eco-gardens are
gaining popularity across the world as people are becoming
aware of the environmental degradations and thus switching
to green practices.

To your astonishment, a plant can also be an ecofriendly
plant. Yes, you read it correct there are plants who are eco
friendly
But what are ecofriendly plants?
Basically, the plants which were grown using harmless
chemicals, manure and fertilizers which does not deplete the
ecosystems are known as ecofriendly plants.
what are the most ecofriendly plants?

 Aloe Vera - Aloe barbadense, ...Ghi Kuwar
 Rubber Plant - Ficus Robusta. ...

Adding of such plants in the garden lead to higher efficiency
and betterment of the environment.
Let’s start with getting practical
How can we make an eco-garden?
Stop growing random plants and be précised
This implies that choose the plants you want to grow wisely,
knowing your surroundings. Don’t just plant a plant, think of
the climate of your area, the soil, water supply and then
decide your ideal plant. Try the plants listed above.

Basic Plan of An Eco Garden

An Eco Garden is actually known for the birds flying in
from the neighboring gardens, insects coming in to pull
ate the fruit trees and fee from the flowers , butterflies
bringing our garden to life during the summer…..
There are lots of different things we can do to enrich
the wildlife value for the garden. We can make a small
type of pond, different trees, plants , insect areas , bird
areas , pavilion ( a farmhouse sort of hut) etc.

Now let’s come up with the main aspects of eco garden and try to
project it .Below are the different structures to be made –

Building of a POND –
For making of the pond dig a wide hole in the soil
before directly adding water it’s important to make a
proper pond bed for it so line the hole with a layer of
sand, then a layer of pond underlay or burlap, and finally
a large piece of waterproof pond liner. Around the pond
we can plant few aquatic plants such as water lettuce,
mosaic plant etc.. Add water in the pond and it’s a good
place for fishes to swim in!!

Building of a pond with waste materials

Instead of digging a hole in the soil, we can use a wheel
tire of a car ..Place it on the soil with a water proof sheet
covering its base and around the inner layer of the tube
of wheel. Cover the outer surface layer with a
fabric…On this fabric add some mixture of fine soil and
water (clayey soil) …For a good decoration purpose we
can apply few pebbles around it and as usual plant few
herbs and shrubs around if. Add water in and it’s Good
To GO!
Different Trees
As mentioned above in the research, there are many trees
that can be planted. We all definitely know the advantages of
the trees such as they help in production of Oxygen, reduces
the effect of global warming etc. But we all should also know
that the trees planted by you in the eco garden helps you to
connect with the nature and establishes a close contact
between you and the environment.
Making Of the insect areas
This is one of the special features of the eco garden. What
you can do is take any corner spot of your garden to build a
pile of logs and the value of having a log pile perhaps at the
back of the border , creates a little mini habit sanctuary
where frogs ,toads , beetles and other creatures can crawl in
to find the sanctuary we made during the day and then come
out at the night to feed on the bugs and other things around
your garden…The materials added will rot a day and this in
turn creates food for many insects , Thus we have formed a
little mini micro system at the back of the garden.

Bug Boxes
This is made up of some old cuts of woods which includes
canes, old timbers which should be drilled holes in between.
These hollow canes will allow mason bees or solitary bees or
even leaf cutter bees to crawl in and lay their eggs.So a bug
box forms a sort of habitat for all small creatures including
spiders as well
Bird Areas
It’s lovely attracting birds into our garden they provide a
valuable role in eating garden pests .But in the winter when
there are not many pests , fruits and berries are not present
around it’s important to feed the birds.We can provide the
birds their food in the form of nuts , seeds etc..It is very
efficient to make a feeding station for the birds.A model of
the feeding station is given below.

This bird feeding station helps them to have food even in the
winter season.
Making of a pavilion
It is about the hut that is mostly made up of wood and uses
solar panels for the electrical, heat energy. It is mostly at the
center of the eco garden.
So, this was all about our eco-garden .Now we go to our next
step of PRODUCT MAKING
