Starting a permaculture vegetable garden
Permaculture turns the gardener into a creator and the vegetable garden into a balanced ecosystem.
Considering nature's intelligence and fertility as allies and models, this recent approach draws on both ancient traditions and modern knowledge. It is a philosophy that could be applied to all human achievements. The subject of much scholarly research, permaculture is approached here through simple gestures: a concrete experience experienced by the author, who has used it to create, in her own way, her vegetable garden.
While beginners will find all the advice they need to succeed in this wonderful undertaking, gardening enthusiasts will find new sources of inspiration. Philosophers will find it a fertile demonstration that the meaning of everything lies in the details of its implementation, and children will learn an essential truth that so many adults have strangely forgotten: all a plant needs to grow is good soil, sun and water.
