permaculture principle number 11: Use edges and value the marginal. Using the edges of a plot can give us access to more space. A lot of permaculture farmers use the edges for food trees as they offer windbreaks and provide a source of food. backyard farms can also use this principle..Here is a photo of my mint plant growing over the edge of a plant pot. Doubling up on the space. #recyle #reuse #urbanfarming #urbanfarmer #urbanfarmers #urbanfarmhouse #permaculturefarm #permaculture #permaculturedesign #permaculturedesign #permaculturelife #permacultureliving #permacultureliving #permacultureprinciples #backyardgarden #backyarddesign #urbanfarmingrevolution #sustainableliving #sustainabledesign #sustainablefarming #sustainablelifestyle #sustainablefood #sustainablelife #renewableenergy #renewablenergy #renewableenergies #solarenergy #solarpanels #permaculturegarden #foodgardens #urbangarden #urbangardening https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pW69xhVeu/?igshid=y1t7lhx7pn4l

When you live in a city and have access to a backyard farm of just 10m2 (just over 100ft2), optimizing the space is vital. Choosing the right plants will make a significant impact on the success or failure of the plot. Small spaces are fun and can be just as rewarding as a more extensive garden. If planned correctly, urban gardens can produce an abundant amount of food on just 100ft2. new blog post... 👆click on link in bio👇 #recyle #reuse #urbanfarming #urbanfarmer #urbanfarmers #urbanfarmhouse #permaculturefarm #permaculture #permaculturedesign #permaculturedesign #permaculturelife #permacultureliving #permacultureliving #permacultureprinciples #backyardgarden #backyarddesign #urbanfarmingrevolution #sustainableliving #sustainabledesign #sustainablefarming #sustainablelifestyle #sustainablefood #sustainablelife #renewableenergy #renewablenergy #renewableenergies #solarenergy #solarpanels #permaculturegarden #foodgardens #urbangarden #urbangardening https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nh3dZhbOB/?igshid=wzdo26rfc3oc

Backyard farming: small spaces and bumper crops

Step 1. Starting the backyard farm; installing raised beds. These raised beds are in part of the garden where I could never grow anything except a thin layer of grass; swipe left to see what the soil quality was previously. Raised beds are the perfect solution 😊 #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #nolawngarden #gardening #homesteading #homesteadinglife #backyardgarden #mulching #raisedbeds #gardeningfree #growingagreenerworld #growingvegetables #growingveggies #growinginthegarden #growfood #growfoodnotlawn #longevity #longevitydiet #gardeningismytherapy #gardeningwithkids #gardeningideas #gardening4pleasure #gardeninggoals #gardeningtime #recyle #reuse #urbanfarming #urbanfarmer #urbanfarmers #backyardfarming https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mxox6BxCT/?igshid=16srys56odpkw

This is an empty space covered in grass in my house that I am converting into a backyard farm; it’s 4.1m (13ft) by 2.5m (8ft). I just wanted to post this pic to show you don’t need a massive space to start backyard farming. Let’s get growing 🌱 #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #nolawngarden #backyardfarm #homesteading #homesteadinglife #mulch #mulching #raisedbeds #gardeningfree #growingagreenerworld #growingvegetables #growingveggies #growinginthegarden #growfood #growfoodnotlawn #longevity #longevitydiet #gardeningismytherapy #gardeningwithkids #gardeningideas #gardening4pleasure #gardeninggoals #gardeningtime #recyle #reuse #urbanfarming #urbanfarmer #urbanfarmers #urbanfarmhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/B-idWR-BoTH/?igshid=owykb8l8xc4m
