Les bons plants d'Elise - Reveal the citizen sower in you!
Reveal the citizen sower in you.
It's so easy to buy vegetable seedlings at a garden center. It's so convenient to buy vegetables at the supermarket. So why take the time and energy to sow your own plants, let them grow and harvest your produce? At a time when our supply processes and our dependence on globalized supply chains are revealing their fragility, food autonomy is becoming a real civic issue. With sincerity and spontaneity, Élise Goulhot, a producer of organic vegetable seedlings in Normandy, shares her experience and botanical knowledge, convinced that making her own seedlings can be a jubilant and meaningful activity, a first step towards regaining consumer freedom.
Everything you need to know about plants and how to grow them, from raw materials (substrate, seeds) and equipment (containers, watering and labeling tools) to growing vegetables (sowing, transplanting, maintenance). Practical, yes! But enhanced by scientific insights, to learn how to sow using techniques and tricks as well as biological explanations. We are all sowers. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, whether you've got a balcony, a garden or a greenhouse, we can all do it: all you have to do is get started, fail and... start again, using the year's sowing calendar as a guide.
Citizen sowers, on the road to autonomy!
