Mon potager de vivaces - New enriched edition
The product is only available in French language
Growing a perennial vegetable garden means gardening differently.
It's about saving money (gestures, time, money...) and curiosity, by opening the doors of your garden to little-known species whose very name is an invitation to travel: oca from Peru, Chinese spring onion, Daubenton's perpetual cabbage, chayote, physalis, rocambole onion...!
It also means opening up to new flavors, making discoveries with surprising tubers...
It means keeping time for other things, without sacrificing the quality and freshness of the vegetables harvested.
It's a different way of looking at an edible plant, which you can accompany for years rather than just one season.
Aymeric Lazarin, ecologist, ecology teacher and nurseryman/landscaper who experiments with a wide range of growing techniques, reveals in this new, enriched edition all the conditions for growing 70 species of edible plants, resistant and perpetual, to be multiplied ad infinitum and harvested over the years.
Bear's garlic, asparagus, sorrel, crambe, perpetual leek, tuberous nasturtium, earth chestnut, crosne, horseradish... you'll find leaf and root vegetables in this book, as well as a few herbs, wild vegetables to acclimatize in the vegetable garden, ornamentals and a few small fruits.
The author has also emphasized the importance of the greenhouse to protect even the most frigid perennials during the coldest months.
A book for creating a thrifty vegetable garden, for cultivating (almost) effortlessly, for caring for plants, multiplying them, using them and preserving them!
