How To Make a Keyhole Garden

Keyhole gardens provide easy access and minimum work. A favorite of

permaculturists worldwide, the idea of a keyhole garden is to create a raised,

no-dig garden that allows the gardener maximum access to each square inch of

soil, without ever having to step on the bed itself.

The British charity Send A Cow, which operates with a similar ethos to

Heifer International, is working to combat chronic malnutrition in Lesotho.

Because distributing livestock is unviable due to poor soils and problems

with erosion, Send A Cow is instead educating school children on how to create

" keyhole " gardens.

This video shows how keyhole gardens are built, creating raised-bed, easy

access systems that are perfect for novice gardeners and school children

using a few rocks, manure, soil and straw. (And, apparently, a few rusty tin

cans!) In Lesotho, Africa, these gardens are proving to be a lifeline in

the fight against malnutrition.
