GIY Challenge

Category: Small Kitchen Garden

Description: We are Seon and Lydia Thompson, and welcome to our backyard kitchen garden! In this 2-minute video, we'll give you a tour of our small but mighty 12 x 14-foot garden, where we grow a variety of crops using sustainable and permaculture techniques.

We'll show you our fabric raised beds, filled with pruned branches from our fruit trees, banana leaves, grass clippings, and manure, all topped off with soil. This method not only saves soil but also creates rich, composting layers that nourish our plants over time. Join us as we explore how these sustainable practices help us cultivate a thriving, eco-friendly garden right in our backyard!
