Garden Plans > 2015: Star Hive Homestead

About this Garden Plan

This is our 2015 Garden Plan. We have finally finished planting everything in the garden and it is all coming up nice and green. We do not have a typical Home Garden (Type of Garden). We started the Back to Eden system of gardening last year and have expanded it another 20+ feet for this year. I selected Other Layout for the Planting Layout because as you can see on the picture we employ a number of different Planting styles. Traditional, Raised Beds, and a Rain gutter/Bucket/Trellis system. Also to maximize space we have espaliered all of our fruit trees. Also unseen on this image is that the whole garden plot is covered in unprocessed wood chips, this is the Back to Eden system (http://www.backtoedenfilm.com/) I suggest you might want to check it out. So far we are very pleased with the outcome.
