Gardening Methods

We love to learn from those who have mastered the process already. Check out the following methodologies.

Organic

Back to Eden Gardening is educating gardeners, farmers, and homesteaders how to regenerate soils by practicing regenerative organic growing principles, eliminating the need for tilling and chemicals. Paul Gautschi is an experienced gardener but like most of us, he was toiling and tilling every season to plant his garden. As a devoted Christian, he was inspired by God and His word to develop a much simpler method, without tilling and fertilizing, called “Back to Eden Gardening”.

Mittleider Gardening Method

This method brings together the best of the scientific knowledge and experience of different gardening approaches producing high yield gardens. It is based on maximum utilization of space, time, and resources. Crops are large because plants are close together, nourished by supplemental feedings of natural mineral nutrients (as in hydroponics), but with no special equipment. Unfortunately this method uses commercial fertilizers and is therefore not organic and sustainable.

While we haven’t tried this method, the tutorial below will teach you many things about gardening, particularly if you are new to this and it is free.
