Potager Style or Grazing Garden?
The Challenge
In this episode, the challenge is coming up with a creative food-gardening concept for a zone 3 garden.
Right now, the space is bare ground. It’s hard clay soil.
The garden space is nestled between a pathway and a retaining wall. There are nearby spruce trees, so there’s only morning sun.
There’s also a “hell strip” on other side of pathway, with a skinny little band of ground between the pathway and a greenhouse.
Challenges (apart from cold winters) include deer and rabbits.
Tune in below to hear me share two completely different concepts for this space!

Looking at the main space from another view. Note the “hell strip” on the right, between the pathway and the greenhouse.
