7 Urban Permaculture Ideas

The permaculture movement seems to be coming into its own. It’s easy to see why. In a world of climate change and destruction of nature, the tenants of permaculture, involving community sharing, earth care, and people care, are more important than ever. It may seem intimidating, but many of permaculture proponents recommend starting slow and building up your skills over time. It doesn’t have to be a huge worldview shift. There are steps even the most dedicated urbanites can take to start a sustainable permaculture project in their own area.

Six Money-Saving Tips for the Garden

There are few hobbies as relaxing and rewarding as gardening, but it can be very costly. Seeds, soil, fertilizer, tools and more can put a dent in your wallet big enough to make you reconsider simply buying vegetables and flowers from the store. However, there are many easy ways to save money on your garden.

Tips for Dealing with Verticillium Wilt in Your Garden

Whether you are caring for a lush vegetable garden or a flowerbed for pollinators, verticillium wilt is a threat. The best way to deal with this dreaded plant disease is avoiding it, but before you can protect your plants, you must first understand this deadly plant nemesis.

What are heirloom seeds?

Simply put, an heirloom or heritage variety is an open-pollinated stabilized cross. In other words, years ago a cross was made that produced a valuable crop. After years of selecting for desired traits from this new original cross, the seeds are typically then passed down from one generation to another. This stabilized cross, having remained important enough to be preserved, is typically classified as an “heirloom variety”. So an heirloom variety is nothing more than an open pollinated variety that had enough significance to be preserved. Which makes for a lot of grey area in classification.

There are many varieties that are considered heirloom by some, and not by others.Though not all “open pollinated” seeds are “heirloom”, we often use “open pollinated” to describe many heirloom types in order to increase accuracy and transparency. Either way, whether you buy heirloom seeds in Colorado, or seeds for permaculture adapted for Texas, or you buy a survival seed collection for an urban garden in New York, at Amkha Seed you’re guaranteed the highest quality naturally produced, open-pollinated seeds available.
