Best Keyhole Compost Garden Bed,

The Composting Keyhole Garden brings all of the revolutionary ideas necessitated by the limitations of that climate to your garden – enabling you to achieve a higher yield with less work. Keyhole Gardening is a sustainable method – Add alternating layers of brown and green matter (newspapers, cardboard, vegetable scraps, etc.) to the center compost bed. This adds carbon, nitrogen, and air to the soil enabling you to produce a large amount of nutritious, organic food using the least amount of space and the least amount of water. Not only is the African Keyhole Garden drought tolerant, but it is also raised, reducing the need for bending and stooping. Could this be any better? – Yes! The African Keyhole idea is an old idea, but we manufacture it with premium, modern materials, so that all you need to do is give it a quick spray with a garden hose to keep your African keyhole garden looking beautiful year after year – and we’ll guarantee it for twenty years. If you would rather not use the Keyhole Garden as a composting bed, simply load it up full of good soil instead. Then start planting.

Keyhole gardens are a brilliant garden design that lets you compost & grow vegetables in the same garden!

What if there was a way to enjoy your beautiful raised garden, grow your own herbs and compost your kitchen waste, all in a pesticide-free environment? Introducing the 4X7 Keyhole Herb garden. The keyhole bed is almost 2′ high (great for those with a bad back or sore knees). The compost basket in the middle is designed to handle your kitchen waste, turn it into compost and nourish all three beds, fertilizer free! Your two lower beds are for companion planting. Expert gardeners know that while pesticides can stay on your plants for longer than you wish, nature herself provides a way to prevent insects from attacking. As an example, the aroma of basil will confuse the pests that threaten your healthy tomato plants! As an added bonus, tomato will pick up the flavor of both basil and oregano when grown side by side! The best news is that this is one garden whose boards you will never have to paint, stain or replace. It is not to rot, warp, crack or turn yellow in the sun for twenty years! Happy gardening!

We’re thrilled to introduce this growing technique to home gardeners! Our U-shaped, elevated Keyhole Garden has an integrated composter that transforms kitchen scraps into rich fertilizer and delivers it to plants. Pioneered in Africa, self-sustaining keyhole gardens are a traditional way to grow food in regions with poor soil and limited rainfall because they require less water and fertilizer to produce a big harvest. Keyhole gardens are traditionally filled half-way with alternating layers of “brown” and “green” materials, similar to building a compost pile. As these materials decompose, they build rich, fertile soil, and they act as a sponge to hold moisture so it’s available to plants during dry times. You can fill the rest of the bed with a mixture of potting mix, topsoil and compost. You’re ready to plant! (If you prefer, you can fill the entire bed with a blend of potting mix, topsoil and compost.)

Physical limitations won’t hold you back from gardening with the vita Independence accessible bed. The container can be configured to wrap around you so the maximum# of plants can be reached from one place, making the task easier on your knees & back. If more than one is purchased, they can be connected together to create a functional & beautiful layout. Made from durable resin, PVC, & plastic, the planter won’t rot or crack

The African Keyhole Garden is a fantastic tool for any gardener. Made from light, FDA-approved polyethylene, this garden can be easily assembled and moved. Molded using the same process as industrial strength fuel cells and military cases, this unit will hold up to harsh weather and abuse without losing integrity. Once set up, it can be filled with cardboard, leaves, grass and other compostable yard scraps. Then the top layer is filled out using regular soil for planting. Add your plants and now you have a beautiful, circular garden that is completely within arm’s reach. The central compost bin is the main engine of the garden. As you add composting ingredients such as kitchen or yard scraps, bugs and other invertebrates will recycle those precious nutrients back into the soil, so your garden stays big and healthy. You can even add clippings from the plants so nothing goes to waste. By being raised a full thirty inches off of the ground, you won’t need to constantly bend down and it is much more difficult for critters to get at your delicate vegetation. With its authentic stone look and versatility, the African Keyhole Garden is the perfect addition for almost any yard.
