In this video, Eric Toensmeier, author of Perennial Vegetables: From Artichokes to Zuiki Taro, A Gardener’s Guide to Over 100 Delicious, Easy-to-Grow Edibles, continues the tour of his perennial food garden. In this installment, Eric gives tips on how to fix nitrogen in the soil, use chickens for weed control, and placate the neighbors when the garden’s residents get too rowdy.
One of the interesting points that Eric makes in this video is that one of the happy by-products sharing food, plants, and seedlings with his neighbors is that the neighborhood is becoming increasingly “green” every year. Let’s hear it for sharing!
