Creating a garden anywhere using "Natural Agriculture"as shown by Masanobu Fukuoka

Many people think it is too hard to create a garden or worry that they havent got room but I have found that it is much easier than you think if you do a raised bed effort using cardboard, woodchips or leaves, coffee, clay soil and compost. I am too old to dig and frankly having heavy clay soils makes digging almost impossible so this is the alternative which is still effective. This is a garden created on Caretaker Farm in early summer 2015.  plants regrowing in 2016 a raised bed garden created in 2015 The same garden reproducing itself in May 2017 This garden was the first using some of the principles of Masanobu Fukuoka-seeds planted in clay bullets and then some plants allowed to reproduce....Coriander, Parsley, Kale even strawberries sending out runners so 20 original plants become 80. Self-seeded Corinader Self-seeded Parsley The following garden named "Pen Duick" was created in October/November 2016 with the help of wwoofers
