If you want to garden, we want to help you. Most days at EDO we do this by coming out to care for your property with premium organic fertilizers, restoring your soils with our probiotic FertileTea, or helping to design your new garden oasis. The best of these days are when clients come out to ask us about their garden. We love sharing what we know, and hearing what you know, which is why we are honored to sponsor the 2024 Washington State Fair Permaculture Booth with our local Master Gardener's extension.
This page dives a little deeper into Permaculture - a landscape design approach that is focused on creating human habitats that follow nature's patterns. By mimicking nature it takes less work to meet our needs, creates more abundance, and provides many a hobbit hole for critters all shapes and sizes.
Learning about how to grow your own food can seem daunting, but the good news is plenty of food plants grow well enough without any intervention. Think about plucking juicy huckleberries and thimbleberries on your walk through the woods. They are just there doing their thing, no additional water or fertilizers needed.
Even those dandelions popping up in the yard are entirely edible - their leaves have more iron and calcium than spinach! Dandelions are also an important early food source for bees and were brought here with the honeybees for just that purpose. Permaculture is all about finding these connections, making use of onsite resources, and creating more functional connections through designing systems that mimic nature.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our booth and page. We hope this brief overview inspires folks to seek out more information on this ever evolving discipline. An important tenet of permaculture is restoring and respecting soil, after all you can't have healthy plants without healthy soils. We help our clients restore their soils with our FertileTea which we can easily apply to existing landscapes.
For DIYers and Permies, sheet mulching is a great way to improve soils before planting! If you stopped by our booth to see the Sheet Mulching display, but didn't get a chance to grab our nifty handout, use the button below and we'll send you the PDF. Or if you're interested in a permaculture design, but overwhelmed by the amount of information and detail, contact us and we can take care of the design and build for you!
