🌿 Step 1: Design the Garden Layout
🏡 Key Features:
✅ Raised garden beds – Improve drainage & soil quality
✅ Food forests – Perennial plants & trees for long-term food production
✅ Herb spirals – Space-efficient method for growing herbs
✅ Polyculture planting – Mimics natural ecosystems & prevents pests
Step 2: Use Vermiculture to Boost Soil Fertility
💩 Apply Worm Castings to Gardens – Rich in nutrients, improves soil structure.
💧 Use Worm Tea – A natural liquid fertilizer that enhances plant growth.
🌿 Mix into compost – Strengthens microbial activity in garden soil.
Step 3: Integrate Rotational Grazing with Gardens
🌾 How it Works:
✔ After grazing, animal manure enriches the soil.
✔ Chickens scratch and break down organic matter, adding nutrients.
✔ Composting animal waste further boosts soil health for gardening.
Step 4: Implement Water Conservation Techniques
💦 Mulching: Reduces evaporation & keeps soil moist.
🌱 Swales & Rain Gardens: Capture rainwater for irrigation.
🚰 Drip Irrigation: Reduces water waste & promotes deep root growth.
