Hey permies! We started a permaculture garden in our backyard a couple of years ago and have been experimenting with different techniques ever since. Some of our favorite successes include hugelkultur beds for water retention and using native plants to support local pollinators. One of our biggest challenges was finding the right balance between annuals and perennials – our first year, we planted way too many annuals and spent a lot of time replanting. Now we’ve shifted to mostly perennials and self-seeding plants, and it’s been a game-changer!

What are some of your favorite (or least favorite) experiences with starting and maintaining a permaculture garden?
