In these Before and After photos we illustrate a sheet mulched turf area that has been beautified, diversified and rejuvinated in an relatively simple manner... to grow food for family and friends (all friends -2, 4, 6, 8 legged and more!)
The spiral provides easy access to the growing area from all sides plus the beauty of a spiral in Zone 1-2. Plants are grown with aspect in mind; shade tolerant plants to the northern edges. The potatoes are grown vertically saving space for succession of the edible forest garden in the subcanopy beyond.
FYI: a south facing slope (aspect) increases heat absorption extending the growing season for food production and warming homes/ greenhouses in colder months...
Start small and build on success
