My focus is on "lazy gardening" -- or how much can I get nature to automate things. How much can I use waste biomass as a resource. Etc. I end up with a lot of failures, but the successes are really satisfying. The main challenge is that the feedback loop is ~1yr which means that it's not a hobby for the impatient. :)
- oh_sigh 5y agoHave you researched "forest gardens"? Lots of good information about lazy gardening there. In reality it is extremely thoughtful gardening which lets you (hopefully) get to a point where the garden runs itself save for a few hours/week upkeep.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoI’ve been watching a YouTube channel called Parkrose Permaculture by a woman in Portland. She doesn’t even have to water in the summer, which in this Mediterranean climate blows my mind.
- tharkun__ 5y agoThis is exactly what I do. I try out things and if they aren't mostly hands off they just not for me. But I learned enough that if I had the time I could grow other stuff too. Cabbage doesn't do well without a fight here. Potatoes? Grow themselves! Carrots? Very finicky to get to grow at all here but if they do they are just so much better than store bought and hands off too. Cherries are awesome once I wasn't lazy enough to skip the netting. Not that much work in the end.
