What is it?

Ecofriendly gardening is related to wildlife gardening and organic gardening, but there are important differences. For example, peat is organic and natural, but using it for gardening is unsustainable, since peat bogs regenerate so slowly, and extracting it is disastrous for the wildlife that lives in the bogs. Coir compost is an excellent alternative to peat, and does no damage to wildlife, as far as I know, but its shipment from the tropics is hardly compatible with a rational and sustainable transport policy. I suppose my order of priorities is: (1) Good for wildlife, (2) Sustainable, (3) Organic. You could argue that sustainability should come first because without it nothing else makes sense.
