This July, Christine and Reed were featured in an exciting edition Virginia Home Grown. There they discuss the basics of permaculture and sustainable living. Take a tour of their home and see how they’ve incorporated permaculture gardening, straw bale construction, passive solar housing, and bee keeping into their property. Then join Christine in the studio for a demonstration of how to incorporate sheet mulching into your home garden. Together, Reed and Christine demonstrate how we can all live more locally and sustainably.
