Zero waste, a personal journey. Part 1.5: Composting in action - my garden

As I mentioned in Part 1, composting took over 70% of the load of my trash, allowing me to go from one garbage bag a day to one each 3-4 days.

This is good enough, but the best is the opportunity it created. It allowed me to have a healthy vegetable garden without buying dirt, or any additive. Granted, there is more to the story. I'm using permaculture principles galore here to the best of my limited knowledge.

My garden is savage, and I only work on it a couple of times a year. To save seed, to seed, and to clean up for the next session. I don't disturb the dirt, just add on top of what I have.

Here are some images along the time:

Do you have an edible garden? Are you a permaculture fan? I want to hear all about it. Please leave me a comment below so we are in touch.
