Permaculture Gardening
What is Permaculture Gardening?
Permaculture is a sustainable approach to the use of land, no matter it's size- permanent agriculture. You look at your yard with a different mindset. Unlike conventional industrial agriculture, permaculture is all about working with nature and collaborating with it instead of wrestling with it or working against it.
You need to be knowledgeable about nature. This means observing what's around you. Permaculture is not a one-size-fits-all cookie cutter method but adapted to a specific location, its climate, natural ecosystem, and topography.
Nature is a continuous cycle. Dead plants decompose and become the basis for new growth, Permaculture recreates this cycle. Instead of discarding garden waste and hauling it away, permaculture uses it and turns it into vital organic matter.
A permaculture garden does not serve a single purpose; it provides food for humans, as well as a habitat for wildlife. It is a place that is both productive and attractive, and designed with all seasons in mind. This type of garden also provides privacy and a place to relax, play, meditate, and exercise.
