Regenerative gardening blog

garden 8 months into soil regenerationAn experimental garden 8 months into soil regeneration

This blog focuses on the regenerative gardening theme, but there is also an art blog and a blog including all the writing on art and gardening on this website.

The first project for the regenerative gardening blog is to do a series of articles designed to make it really easy to do regenerative gardening, one task at a time. This comes in response to a demand for simple and practical suggestions, tips and activities. I wrote a polemical article titled poly-regeneration, but based on the reaction, I see that many people prefer practical solutions on how to do it, rather than theory.

Below you will find my 4 regenerative questions series, and my how to grow trees series. Below that is the 'how to' series with 12 simple tips for regenerative gardening. Tap on the green text in each entry to go straight to the blog posts. The practical, how to series sometimes duplicates some topics I've written on in greater depth, so I will link you to those topics as we go.
