First off, a lot of you may be wondering, what is permaculture?

Permaculture has also found fans in cities, with many urban farms utilizing permaculture’s efficient methods to grow in small spaces.
Permaculture promotes experimentation and observation. For example, if you have a poorly performing cherry tree, you might consider planting horseradish at the tree’s base; horseradish will choke out weeds and grasses that compete with the tree for nutrients. This simple system means you no longer need to weed or mulch the base of the tree, and as a bonus, now you have fresh horseradish!
