Let’s Be Organic
Rouken Glen is committed to sourcing and selling products that encourage and promote sustainable gardening using biodegradable products and organic methods - just growing naturally. From growth comes growth, the natural endless cycle.

Let's just help the cycle a bit, nature doesn't need chemicals or plastics - just for all of us to put back in just a little more than we take out. If you want to be part of a growing movement towards modern organic food production here are some tips:

Compost your waste food and garden clippings using one of our composting bins.

Try growing your own food, no matter how small or large your garden is. Herbs can be grown in window pots, hanging tomatoes and strawberries in baskets are bound to impress and patio pots can produce lovely lettuce, scallions and radishes. If you have a larger space try and grow a mixture of vegetables and fruit. There are many options for learning how - a good book or the internet. Setting up a garden is really challenging but you will be justly rewarded when you sit down to a meal of your own fresh, delicious produce. Gardening can be a family event too, where you pass skills on to your children through a shared activity and establish healthy eating habits as early as possible.

Plant flowers and shrubs loved by insects. Ladybirds and hoverflies are natural predators and will keep the aphid population under control, Tagetes (African Marigold) and Poached Egg Plant attract them.  Bees help pollinate plants, and they love Borage which has an edible flower that makes summer drinks really attractive. If you have a large garden, try and leave a space for wildflowers or leave logs in a corner to provide a comfy home for hedgehogs. A pond will make a home for frogs, who love to eat slugs, the bane of every gardener.

Whenever you can, buy local, organically grown food. While organic food is better than conventionally produced food, importing food from places such as Chile, Spain or Cyprus when we can grow it here makes little sense.
