The Keyhole Garden concept is brilliantly simple. A circular raised bed has a center compost basket that distributes nutrients to the surrounding  garden bed. A small pie-slice section of the bed is used for easy access to the center compost basket forming the keyhole design

Kitchen and garden waste, along with household gray water, are added to the center basket. The soil bed layers are slightly sloped away from the center to aid water and”compost tea”distribution. As the materials decompose, soil, composting materials, and amendments are added to the bed in later growing seasons
