A Garden Chat with Don TitmusIn this garden chat, Greg and Don Titmus dive into the Permaculture Principle 'The problem is the solution,' using examples like managing excess lemons and wetland areas to illustrate the concept. They also talk about water harvesting techniques, such as swales and curb cuts, and offer solutions for gardening in small spaces, like using tower gardens and partnering with neighbors.
