Compost worms are a great way to make your own fertilizer for organic gardening, and they are equally as good for recycling food waste at home. The system will continuously create both liquid and solid fertilizer and close the food-waste loop.

This quick hot compost pile comprises one-third brown carbon, one-third high nitrogen green waste, and one-third manure. We regularly aerate it by turning it, evenly distributing the temperature by inverting it, and maintaining good moisture levels by adding water if it is too dry or carbon if it is too wet. Why? Because combining those ingredients with these actions creates the ideal environment for microorganisms to thrive, thus fast-tracking soil fertility. At the end of the process, 30-50% o

We’re here at the Greening the Desert project with a behind-the-scenes look at our four-week internship program. We have an international and diverse crew of permaculture students here hard at work developing this site into abundance using design principles learnt from the recent PDC course. As we move into winter, the cooler weather and promise of rain brings more favorable growing conditions here in the desert, so we’re busy propagating, planting, and making compost. We're also using spiky leg

The making of a hot compost, turn 3. Every afternoon, we turn this compost, giving special attention to raking the outer layer down to become the inner layer of the next pile. While carefully turning the pile, we are aerating it and checking moisture and heat levels to ensure our compost receives the attention it needs to become healthy, fertile soil to grow our food. #permaculture #discoverpermaculture #timelapse #compost #fastcompost #quickcompost #hotcompost #berkeleymethod #organicfertilizer

Permaculture design is the integration of land, resources, people, and the environment. It creates a closed-loop system, beneficial to the environment and people, in which all the elements in the system are provided for and the waste used. For example, a garden produces food, the food waste makes compost to provide fertility, and people eat while the garden’s fertility needs are met. Only closed-loop systems like this are truly sustainable. Sustainability is a state that provides more energy tha

Even in urban designs, where water may come from mains, we still first consider water collection from sources like roofs and hard surfaces that can be distributed throughout the system. There can still be structures beyond the house: small animal coops, compost, worm bins, etc. We can still use orientation and slope to our advantage in creating small food forests, vegetable beds, herb gardens, and productive ponds. We can utilize green manure legumes, rock walls, and deciduous vines (shade in su
