I know, I know, I keep going on about mulch. I can't help myself. Mulch is making such a difference in the maintenance of our whole place that I can't help but talk about it. For example, currently we have no functional lawn mowers. Solution? Mulch! Of course! It is literally taking over the whole yard, and in the process creating future planting beds.

Obtaining a Yield
We each ate half of a ripe strawberry this morning!
We never get strawberries. As a matter of fact I rarely plant them because they take so much more effort than the average garden plant to maintain. These came from some plants my mother gave me last year and somehow survived my complete neglect. Two beautiful red berries. Just imagine if I had given them proper attention! I will readily admit that this is not my best example of permaculture gardening, but it is a reasonable example of a single permaculture principle: Obtain a Yield.
