Soil Improvement Techniques

🌱 Hügelkultur raised beds with logs and manure enhance soil fertility and support flood-tolerant crops like asparagus, which can thrive for 25 years with proper care.

🌿 Living ground covers such as sweet potato and comfrey provide food, soil protection, and perennial growth in challenging environments with extreme temperatures and limited mulching options.

Multifunctional Plants

🌺 Incorporating ornamental plants like lemongrass, hibiscus, and prickly pear into food gardens adds value, flavor, and medicinal properties to meals and beverages.

🍃 Comfrey serves as a compost activator, food source, and medicinal herb, improving soil health and offering versatile uses in the garden.

Sustainable Practices

♻️ Biodigestion of excavated soil and waste enhances soil fertility and creates a closed-loop system for sustainable waste processing and utilization.

☀️ North-south orientation of tree lines maximizes sun exposure for all plants, preventing shading and ensuring optimal growth and productivity in the garden.
