Permaculture
The Mulch Pit is a permaculture garden, which means three simple things –
1. Care for the earth.
2. Care for people.
3. Enough for all.
In practical terms, that means the garden is organic (no chemicals) and tries to be in tune with the local environment, the neighbourhood and, with all humility, the universe.
Ethics
We’ve fleshed out how we aim to care for the earth and people and live out the notion of enough for all in the following ethics. The ethics are each connected to a practice, one of the essential elements that make up life on this fabulous planet and a statement of how we hope to be together…in a community garden.
