Permaculture gardening may be the answer.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/what-is-permaculture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Permaculture is a style of agriculture<\/a>\u00a0that aims to work with nature rather than against it. The result is self-sufficient, sustainable crops and plants.<\/p>\n<p>Though it may seem intimidating or complicated, permaculture is just about using what\u2019s available to you in your immediate surroundings. That means that if you\u2019ve ever dreamed of growing your own garden full of food and herbs, you can jot it down on your New Year\u2019s resolution list as an easy, attainable goal for 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to start a permaculture garden\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_545734\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-545734\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-545734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wheel-barrow.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wheel-barrow.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wheel-barrow-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wheel-barrow-558x372.jpg 558w, https:\/\/www.permaculturenews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/wheel-barrow-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"wheel barrow\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-545734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@erxxx?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">\u0112riks Irmejs<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/garden-tools?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like any good project, you\u2019ll need a few things before you can get your hands dirty playing in your new garden. First and foremost, you should familiarise yourself with your surroundings and resources. For example, how much space do you have? Are you planting in your backyard or on a balcony? Is there a community garden or rentable plot where you can start your garden?<\/p>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll want to consider the ecosystem where you live. What are the native plants and insects? Which vegetables and fruits are native to the area, and what are their seasons? The goal is to work with nature as much as possible, so you\u2019ll want to consider what occurs in your area naturally before planting non-native species.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Photo by\u00a0Beth Macdonald\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash Thinking about Establishing a Home Permaculture Garden in 2022? 6 Key Benefits You Shouldn\u2019t Overlook Have you ever wondered why humans have to invest so much time and energy into growing plants that grow all by themselves in nature?
