In Poitiers, the organic shop "Comptoirs de la bio" is launching a permaculture project by creating a micro-farm. Called "Les prodiges de l'humus", it is the very first concept established in the region, but also in the whole of France. Hugo Arnaud, market gardener of the micro-farm, talks about it.
When we garden, we always tend to leave the ground bare. This is certainly aesthetic and clean. However, to improve crop yields, it is advisable to cover the soil. This is called mulching. This process aims to restore the balance between the production environment and production constraints. To find out more about the different types of mulching and their advantages, read on.
The metropolis is always synonymous with loud noise and air pollution. The destruction of the environment and global warming are at the heart of all debates. What if we finally opted for a green theatre in the middle of the city to ensure a greener future? It is possible. Since the summer of 2020, a small corner of the countryside has been built on the roof of the Paris Exhibition Centre. This place is being transformed into an urban farm, the largest in the world.
Conventional gardening tends to use a one-size-fits-all approach to growing fruits and vegetables. Its central concepts are based on what gardeners want to grow rather than what plants are best suited to a particular land. Permaculture gardening, on the other hand, is based on the concept of using the perfect plants for the climate, and using only what works best for the local environment.
Permaculture is a process that adopts a philosophy that respects the environment, allowing good fruit and vegetables to be harvested without pesticides, all year round. Your garden will be designed to minimize any effort on your part. Ideal isn't it? Discover through this article our advice in 6 steps to get there.
