Enviro House: Edible landscaping and composting

The house in Bingen is not particularly Enviro, but the edible landscaping on this small urban lot is designed for year-round food production.

  • Espallied fruit trees including cherry, apple, peach use space along fences- other fruiting trees include a persimmon & 2 figs
  • Strawberries, herbs, perennial vegetables and berries create year-round landscaping interest
  • Kiwis and other exotic fruiting vines maximize small space by growing on trellises and arbors
  • 8 drip irrigated annual vegetable beds
  • All kitchen and garden waste is composted
