Welcome to Edible
Landscaping
Permaculture landscaping is a holistic approach to designing and maintaining landscapes that mimic the natural ecosystems, promoting sustainability, resilience, and harmony with the environment.
Key Principles of Permaculture Landscaping:
1
Observe and Interact:
Understanding your land’s natural patterns and characteristics is the first step. By observing sunlight, water flow, wind and soil conditions, you can create a design that works with nature, not against it.
2
Catch and Store Energy:
Efficient use of resources like sunlight and water is crucial. Techiniques such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy utilization, and mulching help maximize and conserve these vital resources.
3
Obtain a Yield:
Every element in your permaculture lanscape should provide a benefit. This can range from edible plants and medicinal herbs to habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife.
4
Adaptive Approach:
Regularly assess your landscape and be open to adjusting your practices.
5
Use and Value Renewable Resources:
Emphasize the use of natural, renewable resources and minimize reliance on non-renewable inputs. This includes composting, planting nitrogen-fixing plants, and using renewable building materials.
6
Produce No Waste:
Implement a closed-loop system where every output becomes an input for another process.
