Permaculture Farming

Archive for January, 2009

Question: Any ideas in how to make a dark damp section in my yard plant friendly?

I am really into Permaculture and what to make the most of my back yard. I have a large shed that makes a shade area behind it of up to two metres wide. Any idea of what veg/herb/fruit tree will best suit, or any ideas on how to reflect light into this spot from the facing fence? (the grass grows really well here!)
I also have a 1 m wide area down the side of the shed that is also in 100% shade I wouldnt mind using up if anyone can think of something? Cheers

Answer: Ferns love dark damp areas and there are plenty of varities thats all i can think of sorry most Veg etc need sun. Maybe reflect light in with a mirror but thats about all i can think of.
Good luck!
