Traditional vs Ecological Vegetable Gardens

Most people think of vegetable gardens as rows of orderly plants grouped by variety that need constant weeding and fertilizing. That simple design plan is faulty because there are no straight lines in nature. A "natural" garden is random in appearance and there a method to the madness.

Planting evenly spaced vegetables encourages weed growth, because nature also hates empty spaces and weeds are great colonizers. And what happens when you use your trusty garden hoe to chop these weeds? They break down into the soil and come back with a vengeance.

The Food4Wealth process uses zero tillage, zero chemicals, has minimal weeds and requires a fraction of the physical attention (when compared to traditional vegetable gardening). It also produces several times more food per given area, and provides food every single day of the year. Click Here for more on the Food4Wealth story.

This ecologically-based garden mimics nature in such a way that the garden looks and acts like a natural ecosystem. Succession layering of plants (just as we see in natural ecosystems) offers natural pest management. It also naturally eliminates the need for crop rotation, resting beds or green manure crops. Soil management is addressed in a natural way, and the result is that the soil’s structure and fertility get richer and richer, year after year. Another benefit of this method is automatic regeneration through self-seeding. This occurs naturally as dormant seeds germinate; filling empty niche spaces with desirable plants, and not weeds.

The Art of Growing Food at Home

Growing food is typically seen as either an art form or damned hard work. It’s no wonder very few people do it on a serious level. But what if a technique came along that was so easy and so prolific that even the busiest corporate executive could grow a significant portion of their family’s food in less time than it takes to drive to the shops. Ecological gardening just might be the answer. For some, it’s the ultimate modern-day convenience veggie plot.
