What if you could double or even triple your garden space without using more land? In this video, we dive into the surprising math behind hugelkultur beds and how their unique shape creates significantly more growing surface than a flat garden bed. With steep sides and a wood-filled core, a single 7-foot-wide bed can offer more than 16 feet of linear planting area, all thanks to geometry and good design. Whether you're new to hugelkultur or already building mounds, this quick breakdown will change how you see growing space forever. #permaculture #hügelkultur #gardening #raisedbeds #permies

Compost gets hot enough to grow zeolite minerals!

Hugelkultur food forest berm, where sweet alyssum has been blooming non-stop through last summer, and of course the winter. ☀️ The pollinator blend that was seeded there also includes celery, dill, cilantro, clover, and a bunch of other good things, thriving and fixing nitrogen into the soil. 🌱 We never watered these seeds, and they went through two months of no rain and 100 degree temps with high humidity last summer. 🌞 The goal is to use these plants to start covering the ground and building soil structure with root exudates feeding microbes. That way, the microbes can use organic glues to hold soil particles together into soil aggregates, while the plants support a growing number of pollinator species. All while we are planting the initial trees and shrubs of the food forest. It’s exciting!!! . . . . . #farmdirt #plantbased #vegan #compost #farmdirtplus #plantbasedvegan #hugelkultur #permaculture #permaculturefarm #permaculturelife #permaculturedesign #permaculturegarden #permies #soilfoodweb #covercrop #covercrops #foodforest #groundcover #plantstrong #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters #sweetalyssum #alyssum #pollinator #celery #dill #cilantro #clover #nitrogen #growyourown @geofflawtononline @pvfgs_groworganic @mattpowerssoil

In this video, Rob discusses how they keep the air fresh and safe in the root cellar for the passive solar greenhouse ☀️🌿 Root cellars are important pieces of infrastructure to keep food fresh all winter long. One of the risks in root cellars is that the food rots in the greenhouse and makes the environment anoxic. With this system, the air in the root cellar will remain fresh and safe! :) #permaculture #foodstorage #offgridliving #offgridfarm #offgrid #vergepermaculture #verge #permies #regenerative #regen #farmlife #eco #sustainable #sustainability

Have you heard of the Florida #Permaculture Convergence happening this weekend? Are you coming? Come join like minded permies!

We LOVE @ediblelandscapingnursery ! They are an incredible asset to the permaculture community and a local gem here that should be getting WAY more attention. Family owned and operated and Michael is one of the most knowledgeable humans I know of in this realm. They also ship if you are not local ! 🤍🙌🏼 they cater to those of us who aim to grow organically because they handpick varieties and cultivars that thrive without chemical inputs. . Unfortunately IG algorithms hate long-form content so we are breaking this up. Would so appreciate if you left some “love” on all parts of this “series” ☺️ —— #permaculture #ediblelandscaping #ediblelandscape #organicgardening #organicgardener #growfood #permies

Happy Permaculture Week! Retrosuburbia was one of the first ever permaculture books we bought when we decided we wanted to be permies 🫶🏽 Fast forward 4 years later it’s still one of our go-to books to read on our own permaculture farm! #retrosuburbia

We’re gardeners, what do you expect? 🤷‍♀️ Who’s with me?! I try to scale down, but I can’t. I guess it’s time to sheet mulch another large area to make some more space… #gardening #seedsaving #bcseeds #gardeninglife #greenhousegarden #organicgardening #backyardgarden #permaculture #permies #perennialvegetables

one of the smartest creatures in the sea. This animal is still poorly understood, but scientists are constantly discovering new and impressive abilities. Octopuses play, solve problems, navigate through mazes and have respectable short-term memories. No. 9 in our list is the octopus, . . . . . #octopus #sea #amazingnature #environment #solitude #organicgardening #intelligence #soilscience #beautiful #selfsufficient #growyourownfood #homegrown #seedsaving #sustainability #permies #ediblegarden #rewildyourlife #rewilding #backyardgarden #backyardchickens #regenerativeagriculture #compost #composting #urbangarden #rainwaterharvesting #homesteading #naturalbuilding #foodforest #terminallyinfected #permacultura

@cicadaseeds (who happens to also be our Community Manager at Young Agrarians) shared this beautiful maypop (passionflower) reel, and we are over the moon with them! "Each evening I harvest the flowers after the bees have had their fill for the day. Any new fruits formed now won’t have time to ripen before frost anyway, so I’m picking and drying all the flowers for tea. Passionflower has been used in herbal medicine for anxiety and insomnia. I’m looking forward to sipping some in the evenings this winter ❄️ My fingers are crossed that the existing fruit ripen before our first frost, which is usually late October. We had a hot spring so the plants started growing and blooming early 🤞" Have you ever tried growing maypop?

A lovely visit to Sarah’s @mypermaculturegarden in Auroville with my friend Rashmi @doctorshealthsecrets Even though it rained on the morning of the tour, I almost begged her to see us when the sun came out as it was our last day. She graciously agreed and gave us a private tour of her magical and productive space right where she lives. Sarah is raw vegan for many years and grows most of her food. She eats mainly fruits and a few greens, herbs and veggies. It was truly inspiring to meet her and I can’t wait to visit her again! —— #permaculture #permaculturegarden #permies #growyourownfood #tinygarden #naturalfarming #auroville
