( For part one , chatter here . )
That ’s what a permaculture garden should face like .
Of of course , I say that as somebody with terminally orthogonal beds in my backyard …
Do as I say , not as I do . Heh .
Beans are growing along the treillage Sam establish in his permaculture garden , both traditional rod beans :
And velvet beans :
Another thing you ’ll see in this garden is the use of plant “ guilds ; ” for example , here ’s a classic Malus pumila / comfrey gild :
In the mix as well is some palmy milfoil . insert in nearby are a few healthy summer squash rackets vines :
And a psychopathic gnome :
Also nearby are some arrowroot plants , just come forth from their winter slumber :
If you do n’t have Maranta arundinaceae , come see me atthe 326 Community Market ; or , if you ’re further away , you canpick some up online in the winter from Grower Jim .
face , anyone can uprise a garden . When you prep the grease properly and use water regularly , industrial plant will grow . It may take a while to picture out what is locomote to boom , so do like Sam did : plant a bunch of unlike thing and tweak as you go . This garden is just a testing priming coat for him before he opens up some large acreage for a food forest .
His permaculture testing ground looks a mint better than most hoi polloi ’s even garden .
And , of course , if you ’re interested in diving into permaculture gardening in Florida , pick up a copy of my bookCreate Your Own Florida Food Foreston Amazon for $ 2.99 in Kindle version or $ 6.99 for the softback .
And if your soil is speculative and you need to kickstart it without killing yourself or proceed crack , pluck up a copy ofCompost Everything : The Good Guide to Composting .
Whatever you do , do n’t give up … even if you ’re in the scouring . Sam ’s garden proves the power of permaculture !
