This is the new French edition of this reference book.
The author presents her ecological vegetable gardening technique, the fruit of over 30 years of experimentation. It's a precise, easy-to-understand method for growing vegetables in associations. The cultivation diagrams are clear and easy to reproduce in the field.
This technique will be of particular interest to those who are unable to cultivate on mounds, or who wish to maintain an in-line vegetable garden structure, but wish to stop ploughing, work with plant cover (surface composting), associate crops with each other, fertilize naturally, etc. The author's global "all-ecological" approach will also be of interest to those looking for a coherent cultivation technique for a permaculture approach to vegetable gardening.
Aromatic and medicinal plants play a key role in this growing system. For the author, they are also essential to human beings for a healthy diet. She therefore devotes a large part of her book to describing their uses for health and cooking, with numerous recipes. Each plant description is accompanied by a photo to help you recognize the plant.
