I consider my growing methods more akin to food forestry than to
permaculture. I don't have the resources to retrofit my entire 3 acres to the "permaculture" way. In the end, my growing techniques are more of a smorgasbord of different ideas.
What are some of the different growing methods you use in your garden (overarching terms)?
Examples of what you might be using:
Forest Gardening: This is the primary method I use to plan my survival garden.
Low maintenance, a
sustainable gardening system that incorporates fruit, and nut
trees, shrubs, herbs, vines,
perennial and annual vegetables.
Silvopasture integrating trees, forage, and the grazing of domesticated animals in a mutually beneficial way. If you are interested in raising livestock check this out.
Permaculture: "Permaculture uses the inherent qualities of plants and animals combined with the natural characteristics of landscapes and structures to produce a life-supporting system for
city and country, using the smallest practical area."
Bill Mollison (the father of
permaculture)
