My Backyard Permaculture

This is the first time I have ever gardened. All the pictures in the video were taken by me this year.

I will be making videos later that go into more detail on my thoughts on suburban permaculture.

wow how did you learn how to do that lovely garden with no garden experience

[E1GHTY8]

Books and the Net... And hours of reading.

[livejusttruth]

Was it difficult to work out your design? Ive read permaculture one and im still mostly puzzled on how to actually go about designing it. Thanks, Sally

[E1GHTY8]

Yes I have really struggled with my design. Rather than getting frustrated, I just did what felt natural and was shock at how well everything did. Nothing Died, I got tons of produce, and I didn't really have to do much work. Everything was planted very close to each other, 12 inchs or less, no rows,

I planted 27 heirloom tomatoes, 17 different peppers, and basil, mint, chives, carrots, onions, parsley, and chilis in between. Things grew on top of each other yet did very well. Big. No pest

very nice man. what all books have you been reading to help you along?

[E1GHTY8]

I have read many books... I would start with these books:

Square foot gardening

Carrots love tomatoes

Grow organic

Plus there is a lot of permaculture vids on youtube. Look up bill mollison, david holmgren, and sepp holtzer.
