Die meditative Kraft des Gärtnerns. In Gartenbüchern wird hauptsächlich über Pflanzen geschrieben. Wie man Erträge erzielt, wie man Blumen zum Blühen bringt und den Garten zum Kunstwerk macht. Salat und Tomaten, Rosen und Chrysanthemen kommen bei Miki Sakamotos zwar auch vor - in ihrem von buddhistischer Weisheit durchdrungenen Buch wird der Garten jedoch zum kleinen Universum und zur Quelle von Kraft. Eine zauberhafte Anleitung zum Leben im Einklang mit der Gartennatur.

Les livres sur le jardinage ne manquent pas, les méthodes non plus... Mais cet ouvrage est différent : il rend compte d'une expérience personnelle, celle de produire, de manière très simple quoique peu orthodoxe, des légumes plus que bio AB, en quantité, sans aucun travail du sol, sans engrais, sans compost, sans pesticides, sans buttes... et sans impact négatif pour la planète. Pour cela, l'auteur, après un accident lui ayant imposé de ralentir le rythme, a passé au crible de ses connaissances agronomiques les habituels gestes du jardinier.

Dans les années 1960, une femme, Ruth Stout, établie dans le Connecticut, aux États-Unis, devient célèbre par sa méthode de jardinage, qui repose sur le fait de couvrir le sol d'une épaisse couche de foin.

The restoration agriculture system described in this award-winning book works! It is possible for humans to produce staple foods using perennial agricultural ecosystems that actually improve the quality of the environment. This can be done on a backyard, farm, or ranch scale and is needed right now - on a global scale. Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel, and many other needs.

En 12 légumes, Marie-Claude Lortie et Jean-Martin Fortier nous proposent de faire le tour des grands enjeux de notre agriculture, comme la culture et l'élevage industriels, les produits locaux, l'utilisation des pesticides et des engrais, et nous démontrent qu'il est possible de transformer le modèle agricole actuel en faisant de meilleurs choix et pourquoi pas en jardinant soi-même.

Si le règne végétal était une nation, les règles qui la régiraient seraient complètement différentes des nôtres. Après avoir démontré que les plantes sont des êtres hors normes et révélé leurs capacités à innover, se souvenir et apprendre, Mancuso leur donne ici la parole. Car si les plantes ont bien les facultés qu'on leur connait désormais, si, tels des "parents attentionnés", elles sont le garant de notre survie, comment pouvons-nous, en retour, assurer la leur ? Quels sont leurs droits ?

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

Désormais légal au Canada, le cannabis sort de l’ombre pour devenir un produit dont on peut (et doit!) discuter. Le hic, c’est que cette drogue, beaucoup plus complexe que l’alcool, demeure largement méconnue et entourée de mythes et de préjugés. Ce petit guide vise à informer les Canadiens sur les aspects pratiques, scientifiques et économiques du cannabis. Sans le dramatiser ni le banaliser, il cherche à donner l’heure juste en fonction des meilleures connaissances actuelles. 

Poet and scholar Camille T. Dungy recounts the seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden in the predominately white community of Fort Collins, Colorado. When she moved there in 2013, with her husband and daughter, the community held strict restrictions about what residents could and could not plant in their gardens. In resistance to the homogenous policies that limited the possibility and wonder that grows from the earth, Dungy employs the various plants, herbs, vegetables, and flowers she grows in her garden as metaphor and treatise for how homogeneity threatens the future of our planet.

In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore a walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work drew her into an exhilarating investigation of paradise and its long association with gardens. Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to John Clare’s enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth.

When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.

Hydroponic gardening is mainly a method of growing plant material for consumption, but can also be used, if desired, for an aesthetic garden. It has a yielding potential with less effort than conventional gardening, but a higher initial investment is needed in the setup process of the system as a whole. Hydroponics is an extremely effective plant growing process and can be enjoyed at home.

Plants play a critical role in how we experience our environment. They create calming green spaces, provide oxygen for us to breathe, and nourish our senses. In The Nature of Plants, ecologist and nursery owner Craig Huegel demystifies the complex lives of plants and provides listeners with an extensive tour into their workings.

In 1637, one Dutchman paid as much for a single tulip bulb as the going price of a town house in Amsterdam. Three and a half centuries later, Amsterdam is once again the mecca for people who care passionately about one particular plant—though this time the obsessions revolves around the intoxicating effects of marijuana rather than the visual beauty of the tulip. How could flowers, of all things, become such objects of desire that they can drive men to financial ruin?

Compared to Charles' other books, this is more about no dig, eliminating weeds, garden layout, compost making, and using compost. There is also a history of no-dig vegetable gardening in the last 100 years. I want listeners to understand the context and the reasons why no dig has not been much valued until recently, and why it is now. This audiobook has 18 sections, covering the key methods and wonderful results of no dig, from starting with weeds to sowing and planting straightaway, and cropping soon after.
