Learn how to design a vegetable garden from scratch, how to work as little as possible on your garden and how to let nature do the dirty work for you.
Hello, hello, I just wanted to update you all with a quick post.
Part of the relaunch (yes, part. I have many other things in mind for the future.) of permablogger will be custom graphics I’ll try to create for each post.
Today I started Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for the first time and fiddled with them for a while. What came out actually surprised me at the end. [Read more...]
Guys, here’s a quick post about a certain project called Open Source Permaculture.
I was contacted by Lynn Fang, who asked me to post a short story about it on my blog. Without further ado, here it is. [Read more...]
Meet “the three sisters”.
They’re very different. But they’re inseparable. They love each other’s company. As a matter of fact, they absolutely hate being alone. They go everywhere together. Everywhere… They do everything together. Yes, everything…
OK, before we go too far off course (after all, this is a permaculture blog), let’s get to business. [Read more...]
Last time we looked at why companion planting is better than monoculture. This time I’m going down and dirty and explain exactly how to plant a vegetable bed in this fashion.

OK, so far we’ve learned different permaculture design principles (SADIMET, OBREDIMET, CEAP) and specific tools that are often utilized when designing a garden (SWOC, PASTE).

Now it’s time to learn how to plant your no-dig garden, the permaculture way.
