The Indian racing duck - Your trump card for a slug-free vegetable garden

Have you ever thought of having ducks in your garden? As well as being endearing and easy to keep, Indian runners are incredibly effective at regulating slug and snail populations. They can live in the vegetable garden without damaging the plants, and are capable of darting between vegetables in search of their favorite prey. The icing on the cake is that ducks lay excellent eggs in large numbers all year round. Damien Dekarz takes us on a journey of discovery of the species and shares his tips for successful breeding. He teaches us how to care for ducks, taking into account their needs: number of individuals, surface area, nesting and sleeping area, fencing, food, predators... Then he looks at duck life in the vegetable garden: good associations, paths, protection... Reproduction, diseases, cohabitation with other animals, creating a pond and, of course, harvesting eggs are also covered. This book will help you limit gastropods naturally. Whether you're a professional gardener, nurseryman or market gardener, these astonishing palmipeds will be your allies for a productive garden rich in biodiversity.
