Title: Re: [permaculture] Re: permaculture Digest, Vol 2, Issue 36


From: BK <lildragon@saber.net

has essentialy made large brush piles and then planted tubers in there such as potatoes and mashua.

That makes total sense to me! Tropaeolum tuberosum (mashua) is a nasturtium; I've always had good luck growing nasturtium in compost towers.

Compost towers: make a cylinder of wire on a garden bed, fill it, and cap with finished compost. Plant in it. A good technique for limited space, adds material to the garden bed, adds "edge" drawback is you'd best use seed-free material because it won't heat much or get turned.
