Garden Plans > 2014: Zombie Garden Plan

About this Garden Plan

My garden is my front yard, or partially designed as my front yard, it has a variety of things planted in it. The garden has some great soil techniques to keep the plants to the highest health as possible, you need healthy plants while you're in a zombie apocalypse. We have a compost bin, which is almost in the center of our garden and is able to be accessed at any point in time, we have crop rotation, fertilizer to keep it chemically healthy. We also do cover crops as well. This is helping the soils stay at its top level, and mostly organic, we use a lot of compost, and organic fertilizer. Our soil is physically healthy as well, it looks very managed and healthy in general. Chemically the soil is also healthy the only chemicals we put in the soil is Pesticides, and thats one of our techniques to prevent pests from getting into our plants, we also have some growing media mixed in with the soil, and that adds some chemicals to the soil, but it does help the plants over all.
