Synergistic gardening

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Synergistic gardening is a system of organic gardening, developed by Emilia Hazelip, and based on the work of Masanobu Fukuoka. The approach is a type of permaculture. After establishing the garden, there is no further digging, ploughing or tilling, and no use of external inputs such as manures and other fertilizers, or pesticides. Soil health is maintained by the selection of plants, mulching, and recycling of plant residues.
