The gardener-gardener: organic farming manual on small area (Paperback)

Customer Review

Jean-Martin Fortier and Maude-Helene companion Desroches founded "Gardens of Grelinette" in Saint Amand in the Eastern Townships (Quebec), a microferme of less than one hectare which is considered a model of organic gardening. With so little land and often difficult weather conditions, he manages to produce enough vegetables to supply two hundred families live of its productions and even wages to an employee. It runs in an AMAP system and practice an agriculture that respects the environment, inspired by permaculture and other natural techniques but remaining aware of certain limits. So what is bearable (fruits or vegetables stained, poorly trained, quirky) in the home gardening is not in selling to individuals and requires some compromises. And therein lies the big difference between gardening and gardening. This book allows to measure all the joys and all difficulties. In a particularly practical way, the author presents all the technical aspects of the financial and even kind of business, from the teeing ground to the study of investments, equipment and buildings needed through the rotation of crops and schedules thousand things that can go from amateurism and professionalism.
If the purists will criticize some "adaptations" in the methods of cultivation, the other will thank him for having quite honestly put cards on the table and can more easily consider their conversion to organic gardening. They will understand that it is not so simple and so wonderful that they were perhaps imagined. Growing vegetables and live properly is a real full time job that does not support the almost-it seems. This book unlike many others too optimistic or too esoteric, will allow applicants and clean and healthy culture enthusiasts to get a realistic view of things. Also note, a polished presentation with charts of all kinds and beautiful illustrations of Marie Bilodeau.
