Tour My Updated Permaculture Garden / No fence, less paths, more growing space

The stones are in, the plants are starting to take off, and I’m mulching with chopped straw. I started replacing my rotting wood raised beds with stones in March. A stone garden has been a dream of mine for ages so this year I finally decided to harvest stones from around the farm and make this a reality. I had to buy an additional 3 palettes from a local garden center to help complete the job. The large slabs are repurposed from a garden patio here at the farm. Every single stone you see was laid myself.
As for the cardboard, it’s currently keeping the weeds down in my new walkways. I have yet to decide what to use as a covering.

You are an absolute genius!! And the garden is fantastic. I’m now disabled so I’m not able to garden anymore , it was so hard to face that, been gardening for almost two decades. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through yours ❤❤ Seriously one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen

[@AxeAndRootHomestead]

Wow what a kind comment to read. Thank you so much! I am sorry to hear you can’t garden any longer. 🖤

I love the use of stone! I would love to use more rock in my food forest but it is so hard to come by around me. I am just starting over in a new (smaller) location and trying to make the most of every inch. I'm with you on the fruit- great way to maximize space on borders and adds dimension.

[@AxeAndRootHomestead]

Good luck starting on your new space! It’s so overwhelming at first, but it also gains momentum so quickly. And then it’s really exciting (and least for me).
