@gsuberland@chaos.social Something really neat in the 'low-effort gardening' category that I ran across recently, is the "keyhole garden" - basically raised beds in a circle around a compost heap in the middle, with a cut-out so that you can reach it.

Toss your food and garden waste into the compost bin, along with a bunch of water, and it'll seep into all the adjacent garden beds by itself over time, no further maintenance or attention required.

It's usually used for vegetable gardens but I don't see why it couldn't also be used for other kinds of plants!
