Arc en ciel - Useful ground cover plants
"Develop a sense of Humus to keep your soil in perfect balance!"
Did you know that under your feet, in the vegetable garden, thousands of living beings decompose and recycle all the organic matter that falls to the ground into humus: the source of soil fertility? Composed of 31 varieties, divided into 7 bags, this rainbow of plant species with a high yield of carbon-rich biomass is designed to perpetuate the soil's natural cycle. In addition to providing permanent cover for the vegetable garden, these plants protect and preserve the soil, improving its structure while keeping it healthy and fertile.
Suitable for intermediate crops or end-of-season mulching, each of these plants also produces an abundance of interesting grains for making flour, semolina, oil, etc.
A "gardener's notebook" accompanies each rainbow, making it ideal for recording sowing dates, crop follow-up, recipes and more.
All delicately packaged in a beautifully illustrated limited-edition metal box, perfect for storing your seed sachets!
