KEYHOLE
GARDEN
A Keyhole Garden is a type of kitchen garden raised bed. The design
which looks like a keyhole from above - incorporates a central
'basket' where compostable waste is placed and greywater is poured.
They have many different forms, and are especially useful in areas
where good soil is scarce. They extend the growing season and
supplement diets with added nutrition. The garden survives floods
well and grows well in arid or rocky conditions as the raised bed
holds moisture due to the high level of compost/humus in the garden.
