Sustainable food production is a key feature of life at the Garden of Eden.

We employ a variety of practices to honor the environment, increase efficiency, and raise healthy plants. A key element of permaculture is foresight, and preparing the land from one season to the next.

In this video, Hive account@quinneaker shares one way we prep our gardens for planting. Weeds in Texas can get pretty fierce, so we lay giant tarps over our planting plots at the end of the harvest season. They stay there through the end of fall and winter, starving unwanted plants from the sunlight they use for fuel.

It is easier, cheaper, and safer than alternatives like fire clearing or tilling the soil. Come planting season, we roll up the tarps, turn over the soil, and are practically ready to put in our new crops!

Check out the video for more info on how we use tarps to prep our gardens for the next season.
