Yes, because so far, the school has not yet had time to produce his work ... :(

Sorry for the double post, but I just saw that, and I found it really interesting, so I wanted to share it with you:

Hello Did67!

This is my first post here. I have very little experience of vegetables except the 4 tomato plants that I grow in pots under my balcony. I remember trying a few years ago a square garden of 3x3 m2 (soil not covered) but having to go there every day to remove weeds quickly discouraged me : Evil: .

I was very seduced by your method and I just finished your book which is very well done. I like the big first half of the book which explains the fundamentals of the method and recalls what photosynthesis is, heterotrophs, autotrophs, etc. even if I admit having passed a few pages which seemed a little "heavy" to me :D . Even if I did not understand everything, it's reassuring to know that your actions are based on scientific thinking and the basic principles of nature. I am also an engineer (not in the same field) and I like this approach : Cheesy: .

So yesterday I bought a first hay bale to begin this exciting adventure! She makes 300 kg. So I will be able to cover an 100 m2 envion area if I'm not mistaken. I will still wait for November because it is still quite unusually hot this month (I am in southern Belgium). But I already have questions ...

I think I remember reading that hay should be laid around November and hold until the first planted crop is harvested about 6 months. I do not have much experience as I said but does the harvest of the first vegetable take place around May? I would have rather thought that May was the period of planting to be sure that it no longer freezes. If the hay is 6 months, we let the weeds grow the next 6 months? Should not we put a layer enough to last a year or do I have to keep hay to get it back after 6 months?

Thank you!

hello and welcome to us
in fact Didier has evolved a little in the management of hay since
we can put the hay now, you are South of Belgium me South of the North so neighbors, or put it a little later
I put it in March this year, it was a bit too late, and now after thinking, put the hay in late January early February would be a better time, but you really need a good layer, closer to 30 cm 20 if you unpack a little (I put 40 because I hay little decompressed)
put it now is to bring minerals to a soil where there is no vegetation, so take the risk that all these minerals are leached by the winter rain, in January February, the mineralization will be very slow because cold, but the hay will take care of water and get packed and when you will put up your spring vegetables in March, April the hay will be just good to mineralize very quickly and bring what you need to your vegetables
my hay is still sufficient to let nothing pass, but with the little rain this summer, it means nothing, but basically last year (I took the train on the move) I put my hay in July and it will remain until the end of the season as this year, so personally I proceed in this way, I hay hay parts of the garden that are released after harvest, and I put my lawn claws in addition during the season
here, if it can help you

Thanks to the author of this topic.

I will have a question about growing dwarf beans and ridging, How do you operate through the mulch layer without moving it?

Goods.

JP.


when my feet of dwarf beans - but 50 cm high - started to bend I bumped them with a bead of hay on one side and held with a small barrier of Provence cane on the other. they continued, so supported; to produce for more than two months.

Hi Lydia and welcome here!

For those who do not know what ployer means: it's leaning, bending, bending ...

for those who want to understand how a plant feeds and how one can produce 10 times more off the ground, to watch is very informative, and yet I do not often recommend a video

I wanted to watch more green manures, it seems very interesting too but, more focused for the pro, I'll finish later, this one very useful to better understand our kitchen garden

if Didier look at it I would like him to tell me what he thinks

Moindreffor: yes, I would like his opinion too, but let's be tolerant, he is recovering : Cheesy:
FYI, on the site of MSV, Laurent Welsh, the presenter of the video is described as having a rate of 8.4% organic matter in its soil! And no, I did not make a mistake typing, finally I type the number of memory, but it is of this order!

Welcome newcomers !
