I don't believe there is an established "method" - I still haven't finished reading Marcel Bouché's book.

But we had once discussed the interest, in relation to those who find themselves with "dead soil", made of embankments, isolated in their neighborhood by roads ... and for whom a "seeding" would be to study!

do you think this is possible? reasonable? useful? and how would you do?

I have an idea, do you want me to develop it, or are you going first? or others?

PS order check gone to Alsace, I hope you still have at least one book for me : Mrgreen: I put a nice stamp on the sulfur to stay in the theme

Yes, yes, I have stock (I renew as soon as I start to be a bit short - almost 200 sold, including donations to relatives) ... I will recommend 100 for my next conferences ...

Good evening everyone,

I discovered the forum thanks to Didier's videos on YT, I also bought Didier's book (I haven't finished reading it yet)

Being totally new to the subject, I would like to have a little help because I have a little trouble understanding my situation.

I want to start a lazy vegetable garden on a slope (fairly pronounced), the terrain is quite compact and is mostly covered with moss
The land is located to the northwest but is fairly sunny in summer

My question is: despite the presence of moss, can I cover with hay or are there other things to do in order to "sanitize" this base to start more properly? Is a vegetable garden really possible on this type of land or is it better to find another place in order to start more serenely?

Thank you in advance for your answers and your time : Cheesy:

Hello
the presence of moss is explained by your orientation, in the north it favors shade especially in winter and even if it is sunny in summer, it is much less the rest of the time, it may be the most annoying point, better orientation would be welcome
after you talk about the slope, but as you could see Didier is also on a slope, so compared to him is it even more pronounced or not?

Phenoculture is not a method strictly speaking, but a means of restarting the life of the soil so that this life helps you in the vegetable garden, we can always set it up, afterwards you just don't have to wait for a miracle , in excellent circumstances it will quickly set up in others it will take a little more time

the moss will suffer the same fate as all "ordinary" weeds so no special treatment to be done

no no !!!

Just a caveat for my readers here: I have not sold 200 - probably still more than a hundred ... I also have consignment stores (for example at a friend's ... professional permacultor! ).

from producer to consumer, this is called short circuits, always at the cutting edge of our Didier
