Creating a forest garden
Author: Patrick WHITEFIELD.
192 pages. Editions Imagine Un Colibri.
An invigorating book! Create a low-maintenance mini-forest of fruit, vegetables and herbs, without tilling or spraying, even in a small 200m2 garden... even in the city.
Plant a mix of "perennial" and "perennial" crops to create a productive system with three levels of vegetation. The top tier consists of fruit trees. The middle tier can be a combination of berries (blackcurrant, raspberry), hazelnut trees kept very low and creepers (grape, kiwi). The lower tier can be planted with perennial vegetables, mushrooms and aromatic and medicinal plants.
The forest garden maximizes space, sun, water and soil nutrients. The mixture of different species, the protection of the soil and the richness of biodiversity limit disease. We also take advantage of the fact that not all species need sunlight or nutrients at the same time.
Patrick WHITEFIELD is the author of several reference works in the field of permaculture.
