Back to Eden Gardening

So just recently we heard about this amazing gardening technique, it's very simple and has amazing results. It's called Back To Eden gardening, and what this guy does is add a cover of woodchips to his garden, and it keeps the moisture in the ground, doesn't blow away, and the it stays dry on top so no weeds can grow!  It's pretty neat really, So part of my family and some other friends went all the way to Sequim to see his garden!

 

                                                   The ferry on the way over                                
 .

We were joking that these are the "Cliffs of Insanity" from The Princess Bride =) 

  Here's a picture of some of his chard

 These are Dwarf Apple trees that produce so much that the branches are bent down.

This 'Scare-Crow' that hangs above his garden. Every year he goes out & shoots a crow w/ his .22

and then hangs it up. All of the other crows see the dead one and think "This is not a safe place" and move on. Isn't that smart??!?

This is a dwarf apple tree that's 1 YEAR OLD and has been planted 6 MONTHS. Normally it

would take about 2-4 YEARS to get fruit, and he got some within 6 months.

This is a his water fountain that comes straight up from his well.

 Here he is talking about his garden, while in his garden.

He has over 60 sheep on 1 1/4 acres, and the sheep aren't able to eat all of the grass down because of

all the nutrients in it. 

Isn't his lettuce so nice and clean and pretty looking?

Your's Truly looking at the water

Thanks!
