Too lazy to pull weeds? Too nice to smush bugs? No worries! You can be nice and lazy with a polyculture garden.
The more the merrier in a polyculture. Technically any space with more than one species growing together can be considered a polyculture. Our garden could be considered an extreme polyculture. We generally don't pull weeds until we are sure what they are and that we don't want them, and we have something ready to plant in it's place. The result is a very wild-looking garden.





Your gardening philosophy has been very helpful to me. Since I started letting the "weeds" grow I have discovered many beautiful wildflowers and edible plants that I had been pulling up for years! : )
