Talk:Keyhole garden

A keyhole garden is a raised bed shaped like a keyhole and walled in by stone. In the center, a basket made from sticks and straw holds manure and later, vegetable scraps for compost. The garden is watered primarily through the basket in the center, which distributes the nutrients from the compost to the plants.This gardening system has several advantages: it's compact, easy to care for, and incredibly productive. For example, the BBC article spotlights a family of 10 that uses the gardens to provide food for themselves. With just 3 keyhole gardens, this family has been able to produce enough to feed themselves and still has produce left over to sell.The most promising characteristic of keyhole gardens is that they give African families the chance to be more self-sufficient.Keyhole gardens illustrate the same concept applied to agriculture. Of course, other agricultural programs will be needed to help permanently solve the food crisis in Africa.
