Pit Farming

I thought I came up with the idea. But like anything that's great, it is being used by someone else in the world. The only thing I do differently is make a trench and use the trench for irrigation. This picture looks a lot like my new corn growing technique except I have a watering source.

Many I'm sure thought I was crazy pitting out my garden space like craters on the moon. 

Look at this link and tell me who's crazy now?

A lot of people are now using a compost trench. They dig a trench and fill it with compost and then grow plants next to the trench. Not a bad idea. Mine is similar except with bales, I can grow in the trench. Not along side of it.

It is good to see that trenches are being used and making great compost for plants and trees.
