Permatulture at Home (WAS: Gardening - Are my nonorganic seedlings organic enough?)

[Guest guest]

Nick,

 

I suggest that you begin learning about permaculture. You can go SO far

beyond any list that looks like what is below, so far beyond biodynamic and

such, you can literally recreate your ecosystem. One great resource is

http://www.edibleforestgardens.com/. Don't let the name misdirect you, it's

about creating a food forest on a home-sized scale.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Re: XPOST : Gardening - Are my nonorganic seedlings

" organic enough " ?

 

 

Shari,

I thought this was a really good question, and it inspired me to ask about

how to be most ideal in other things. Starting with gardening, assuming that

things like air quality can't be controlled - except maybe by choosing

location, what would be the most ideal way to grow a pure garden?

 

Organic, heirloom seeds.

Rainwater

Free range compost

Others? Suggestions?

Great site, Elchanan - thanks for posting this.

 

By the way, I found this site on foraging ( " rewilding, edible wild

food, and permaculture " ) which is pretty cool for anyone exploring

edibles out in actual forests and such. He posts videos about where

he's actually found edible plants/fruits/nuts and talks about them.

Scroll down to the 2nd post on this page (of May 10) to read about his

adventure in creating his own feral garden:
