The ability to grow your own food and the general push for self-sufficiency has reached an all-time high as recent events have highlighted the need for a 'plan B' if things go badly in the world - and the store shelves empty of fresh vegetables and other food staples. This book aims to inform the novice grower or even experienced vegetable gardener, of the various techniques that can be used to maximise your food production - even if space (and knowledge?) is limited. Hugelkultur is a proven, age-old way of growing a beautiful garden using no-till, organic natural processes. It is a permaculture method that relies on nature's ability to recycle natural materials and fungi and create accessible materials for new plant growth. Learn about Hugelkutur and learn 7 different ways to use this method on a smaller, home-gardening scale. With a proper understanding and application of this simple technique, vegetables can be grown with minimum irrigation - and less back-ache! A cheap and effective way to grow vegetables in the poorest conditions, this 'Mound Culture' technique uses the naturally decomposting lumber to both feed and irrigate the plants grown in it. There can be no doubt that this is a productive technique for growing vegetables and indeed could be the answer to many problems facing the enthusiastic food-grower.
