This is what it looked like in April 2009 Here we are, later that month building the Key Hole Beds This is what it looked like in August And here we are in September Selling the produce PERMACULTURE GARDENING SYSTEM permanent agriculture for a permanent culture No Weed No Water No Till Deep Mulch Drip Irrigated Then, what we are doing is essentially composting in place. But, instead of hauling materials, building a pile, turning it, and then hauling the finished compost to where we want to grow our plants, we feed the soil organisms where we want to grow our plants . . . and they do the work. This is a garden we did in Broomfield in 2009 This is the double key hole pattern we use to accomodate our drip line This is a typical key hole bed using the double key hole pattern This is a tomato from my garden which has not been tilled in six years That tomato grew in this bed in this deep mulch Here are some of my carrots from that year - no tilling needed Organic Landscape Design This is the only gardening system we know that builds fertility over time rather than depleting it. It builds fertility the way nature builds fertility . . . by feeding the soil. By working with nature's processes we heal nature, heal ourselves and produce abundance presents a The key to what we are doing is the sheet mulch. The key to the sheet mulch is the 1/2" of newspaper or cardboard. It is a weed barrier. With that barrier we can go out into a field like we had in Broomfield - or any lawn - and it doesn't matter what was growing there before . . . it won't come up through the barrier . . . and we don't have to plow or use herbicides.
