A successful lazy man's vegetable garden - an anti-guide for free gardeners

Produce an abundance of vegetables while protecting biodiversity and the environment; make a success of your vegetable garden without tilling the soil, without ridges and without a hoe; adapt to climate change; take up phenoculture... Didier Helmstetter, a lazy gardener and agronomist who worked for a dozen years in Africa, suggests thinking of the vegetable garden as a complex living system. It's an invitation to observe, understand and respect the natural vocation of a terroir, your own, with its climate, geographical location, exposure and soil... This book provides guidelines that will help you find your own solutions, adapted to your desires and constraints, all of which will make you a liberated gardener of the 21st century, committed to defending the natural mechanisms of the living world. Who says you have to garden the same way from Bonifacio to Newfoundland? When climate, bedrock, relief or sun exposure change, nature reacts. It's sensitive, it adapts! At Potager du Paresseux, we don't disturb, we don't destroy, we protect, we accompany and we nourish, delicately. In short, you're holding in your hands an anti-guide to successful vegetable gardening, freeing you from preconceived ideas and living in harmony with the living.
