I just saw that I had not yet put a photo of the new vegetable garden (the 2nd) of about 210m2.

Covered during the last fall / winter with leaves, grasses and hay.

Twelve strips (approximately 80cm by 4m).

Former traditional vegetable garden until 2010, then abandoned.

Today beautiful sun, almost summer temperatures (sorry for those who are still in the snow : Cry: )

And thanks to the cover put on several months ago, I took out the roots of wild fennel by hand in loose soil :D

Wild fennel:
  1. the young shoots to flavor the fish (this is good the season is starting :) ),
  2. the young peeled stalks cut into sections and then cooked in water with pdt,
  3. the seeds (much later) for a marinade (I love with chicken drumsticks or turkeys)

You just made me hungry :D

Beautiful testimony on the phenomenon of deterioration!

[How did you qualify your floor at the start? "heavy" ? "clayey" ??? Or isn't it you?]

Effectively Did67 I had written "clayey" but it will look "clayey-silty". According to the statements of the elders of the village, the monks, who are at the origin of the vegetable gardens, brought back "good soil" :)

It is therefore a question of soils generally considered as "heavy" (clay) or "beating" (silt) ... Wet, we should be able to make "pretzels" without the small sausages breaking?

[Battance is the formation of "scabs" after heavy rain followed by drying out. It requires, in a conventional approach, a "hoeing" to break this crust and again allow gas exchange, then the penetration of the following rain].

This precision seems important to me because many are those who think that in "heavy" soil, it does not work, or not as well ... And I do not have the means to convince them, having a more "balanced" soil .

I will try the pretzel or sausage tomorrow but actually the ground once dry makes a crust of almost a centimeter very hard in traditional vegetable gardens : Mrgreen:
