A keyhole garden is a small, raised garden on top of a carefully constructed compost pile.
There is a raised bed garden technique pioneered in Sub-Saharan Africa called a"keyhole garden."
The best way to describe it is a small, raised garden on top of a carefully constructed compost pile. In the center of the garden bed is a hole to compost your kitchen scraps . In large designs there is a walk-up space in the garden bed to access the hole.By placing a pile of small sticks on top of the cardboard on the lowest layer, you are creating an oxygen space for the roots. This helps drive the roots down into the pile instead of staying near the surface where the oxygen usually is .
Brieger fills up the keyhole once a week with a bucket of kitchen scraps and says to make sure not to put any meat or milk products in your kitchen scrap container, just fruit and vegetables trimmings. She also says don't put in any avocado seeds because they'll sprout and produce a tangle of roots down below, robbing your plants of important nutrients.The durability of vegetable plants in the Texas summer heat in a keyhole garden is very noticeable, Brieger says.
