Welcome to my garden! Today we are talking about some of my favourite Edible Ground Cover Plants for Permaculture Gardening here in Perth, Australia. This year I have decided to really focus on replicating the food forest system that I have here in the backyard. This garden has layers and it all works together to create a sustainable lowmaintenance edible garden.
The taller trees will provide some shade and wind protection, the medium plants can then be a little more delicate and the ground covers will protect the soil by retaining moisture, replenishing the soil by dropping and rotting leaves, and providing a diverse habitat for wildlife and beneficial bugs to live.
Edible ground covers also help reduce weeds as they smother/cover them. They have shallow masses of roots which can help with soil erosion, keep the good topsoil from washing away.
