This sounds interesting, I especially like the idea of the place in the middle for compostable materials. That would be a good place to dump graywater too. http://www.afrigadget.com/2008/07/05/keyhole-gardens/
That is an interesting article. There are so many ways that we can conserve in the garden - we just have to learn to put them to use. Gardengater
I'm going to save that link in my favourites as it's something that I may think of doing at some future stage. Thanks Toni. :-D
I just saw this idea featured in the Hampton Court Floweer Show last week by a woman from Uganda. It is an interesting idea...especially in an arid place that has water restrictions.
