Permaculture in the making

It is total chaos as you look at the way my garden is organized.  This small area is filled with a mixture of fruit and veggies including strawberries, gooseberries, figs,blackberries, blueberries, tomatoes, tomatillos, carrots, asparagus, squash, cucumbers and rhubarb.  It is a list that has me wondering how I can keep so much going on in one small space.  Not to mention I have no time to keep up with this and my present work schedule.  So I have decided to let my garden move in to the beginning stages of permaculture.  Permaculture is a no till method and raised bed with lots of mulch you plant your seedlings into.  I hope it means less weeding and watering when it is all said and done.  Good loamy soil piled high with lots of fertility from the breakdown of dead plant material.   Just start it and it keeps on giving back.   I love it.
