Description

A Keyhole

The Keyhole is a vegetable garden in the shape of a key hole which has been put in place in Africa by Send a Cow association.

Indeed, this vegetable skill allows to grow vegetables with only a small space and a limited water resource. The aim is simple: compost put in the center of the garden in order to slowly spread its nutriments and its humidity.

The key hole measures about 3m diameter with a “key hole” which will be used for receiving the compost measuring about 1m. We circle this garden with a low stone wall linked with land, straw and manure spreading.
