Designing and maintaining your edible landscape naturally
A week from today, Mark and I will be
climbing the Uxmal pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula. So this
week's lunchtime series is actually a two week series, spanning the
days we'll be away on our honeymoon.
Luckily, I found just
the book to fuel two weeks of permaculture musings: Designing
and Maintaining Your Edible Landscape Naturally by Robert Kourik. This
book was written about the time I entered third grade, but the facts
are nowhere near out of date. Actually, I can see where the
fascinating forest
garden book I read a
few months ago grew organically out of the rich compost of Robert
Kourik's guide.
Robert Kourik's
flawlessly researched and referenced book is also based on his years as
a landscape architect, tempting clients to include edible plants in
their ornamental gardens. This week's first half of the series
sums up his wisdom about the foundation of permaculture plantings ---
soil.
This post is part of our lunchtime series reviewing Robert Kourik's Designing and Maintaining your
Edible Landscape Naturally.
