- Primary benefit of keyhole garden are they require less water, no fertilizer, and they are kind to your back. You can make a keyhole garden from stone, brick, wood, or metal. Fill materials include "brown" and "green" materials
To make this garden I used the following:
-concrete retaining block 12”L x 4”H x 7”D (qty 70-about $2.30/each)
-poultry mesh 36”H x 40”L
-wire ties(garbage bag or bread ties work well)
-Fill materials(dead grass, cardboard, chicken manure, soil, kitchen scraps)
Great resource for keyhole gardening is Dr. Deb Tolman

I love that idea, a win-win all around! No bending over.....yay!
Get rid of all the other "goodies" ....👍, plus it is space saving for sure!
Thank you plant ninja for another nifty idea‼️
You da best mom💗
That NOT HAVING TO CROUCH OR BEND DOWN part sold me! I'm all in!!
Many of these keyhole gardens are 30 inches or more. I felt 20inches was high enough to make a difference
I like .... LOVE.... this concept.
Love how you commented from both your accounts😂 Thanks for the support♥️
Grateful ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Could we get an update on how well your keyhole garden has done since it was established?
Absolutely Christian, I’m so excited for this update request! I was thinking about filming a July update for landscape and garden tomorrow and uploading them as separate videos. If all goes well I should be able to post in the next day or two. Thanks for reaching out🙌
Thank you for the update! Your keyhole garden is gorgeous!! I have been dreaming of adding a keyhole garden (or two) to my 8b landscape. Your garden is the first proven success story I have found for this area. I'm so excited. Your update has encouraged me to move forward with my small garden fantasy.
@@christianfisher-uw7ee so glad I could offer a source of inspiration! Excited to hear you move forward with one of your own. Happy (drought tolerant) gardening! 😊
This is an interesting idea…. Is the floor of the bed raised up in the middle as well to help drain things across to the edges?
Not in the one I built, BUT I did add a few rocks at the bottom of the central bin for that reason. I’ve seen so many variations on the design that I think you can really make it your own as long as you follow the basic principles. Did you make a shade canopy yet?
@@theplantninja-texasgardener not yet…it will be next spring over one of my raised planter beds. I will have some time to think about it :)
How did your garden do? The concrete stone one.
It performed well. I often forgot to water it because it only needed watering 1-2 a week. Mine only had kale and got some afternoon shade and did well with that frequency. I imagine that would vary based on plant type and how much sun exposure.
