Permaculture at its finest!

The beautiful thing about permaculture is that you not only reuse everything on your land but you are also working to improve it at the same time. Old manured shavings and hay, dead leaves and wood, and more can turn into food! All of our garden beds were started on just open lawn - no digging at all!  Eventually all of our hugelkultur beds will merge into a food forest, right here in our own back yard!  These are very happy currents (with elderberry behind it, and grapes on the right that are beginning to climb the shed). We try to keep water on our property by creating long hugelkultur beds on our sloping backyard. It has been a brilliant solution to what was once a very wet lower backyard. We keep the water where we want it! ;-)
