Frequently asked gardening related questions
Permaculture builds soil fertility primarily through continuous addition of organic matter and minimal disturbance. Key methods include "no-dig" gardening, sheet mulching, composting, vermicomposting, and integrating animals for their manure. Planting nitrogen-fixing plants (e.g., clovers, peas, alders) and dynamic accumulators (e.g., comfrey) directly enriches the soil. These practices foster a healthy soil food web, leading to naturally fertile, living soil over time without synthetic fertilisers.
