Thanks everyone! Yes, i know i have to just start with something & learn as i go & I can always change things later or next year etc.
I just got the book "Gaia's Garden" and will be reading it.

Thanks Tyler!
It seems like a lot more work doing it that way and everything i've seen so far about permaculture leans towards no digging yet with Biointensive they suggest to dig up to 2 ft deep!
Also to start the seeds going in seperate trays before then putting each individual seedling in the garden bed all measured precisely.

Hi, I live in central Canada and this year I have access to a 30' x 9' garden. It was previously used as a conventionaly grown veggie garden.
I've been learning some things about permaculture but there's so much to learn. I could really use more direction/suggestions.
The garden is running north south with some shade at south end. Theres access to it from lawn on west side & a fence along the east & north sides.
For my first year should i just keep it flat or create beds or mounds? I would like to grow a variety of veggies & herbs/flowers.
Would it be a good idea to prep it with a load of topsoil or such with perhaps cardboard/newspaper underneath?
How important is companion planting?
Thanks for any suggestions & directions you may have.
