Back to Eden movie

We watched the Back to Eden movie yesterday and it was very inspiring. Paul, the gardener in the movie has found a way to garden in a very efficient way. Through constant mulching, he has obtained great results, such as no use of fertiliser, basically no irrigation, no or very little pest control.
He uses only wood chips from branches with lots of leaves on his garden.
This whole process reminds me of the compost Jean Pain that we used in Europe. It was amazing indeed. The difference is that Paul does not go through composting in a heap first, he just puts the woodchips directly on the soil.

As with all methods that use high mulching there are a lot of benefits and it makes gardening a lot easier. No tilling, turning the soil, less and easy weeding are only a few that make it so much more attractive to start a garden.

If you go to the FAQ on his site, www.backtoedenfilm.com/faqs/index.html you can also watch chapter by chapter, if you have particular questions. There is much more information on the site, just click all the links.

I experienced Paul as very religious and he refers a lot to the bible. He has used the information in the bible to find a solution and one that can help the world from becoming more sustainable. If his mentioning of "God" disturbs you, you can maybe try to replace it with the "Universe"
