Le Potager du Sloth: Gardening without fatigue more than Bio

[Did67]

well, we will be satisfied, the deckchair, the self-supported swimming pool and the supermarket's supermarket and garden corner, we will see the rest for the retreat

A small beer ("organic") anyway ???? At least the "days of celebration": success of such or such experience ...

"transplanting parsley brings bad luck" ....

I do not know !

Is that also true when we do not know it because I transplanted it there are 15 days or 3 weeks; we will be able to start picking soon (under greenhouse) ... I will be punished?

The good weather is there ... Finally for how long?

You have to crisscross to sow the first rows of beans.

After standing on the guide board, equipped with a vertically held wood saw, cut the hay on the width of the parcel of 5 meters, my co-phenocultrice spreads the hay to clear a furrow:

In this way, we did not do 2 saw cuts to remove the hay but only one, which divided the work by 2.

The hay was laid here is 3 1 / 2 months for the first parcel and 9 months for the second. It is also easy to saw in both cases, after the rains that have watered the southern Cevennes since the winter.

The peas and salads already sown for a month have been ravaged by slugs - so, we have deposited ferramol in all the furrows including carrots, radishes and turnips, however less attacked.

It exists ! An excellent book!

Marcel Mazoyer and Laurence Roudart: "History of world agriculture from the Neolithic to the contemporary crisis" / Édition du Seuil.

And he contributed to the genesis of the ideas that inhabit me!

Attention: 500 dense pages [but it is about agrarian systems of the Nile Valley as that of the Incas, and of course, the different stages of European agriculture since the Neolithic]

All scientific thinking, even the most powerful, is based on hypotheses (explicit or, more often, implicit). In this book, the belief implicitly shared that the tillage is an improvement ... You'll understand, I agree only 90%!

Ayé ordered ...

The peas and salads already sown for a month have been ravaged by slugs - so, we have deposited ferramol in all the furrows including carrots, radishes and turnips, however less attacked.

It's always a bit the same: at the end of winter, the slugs are active, but not the main auxiliaries (staphylins, beetles) which are insects which "overwinter".

This is not specific to "covered floors"!

Observations in my greenhouse:

- the lettuce stalk the most attacked (2 large slugs - more or less the 2 phalanges of the little finger; 3 medium: last phalanx) was in the part ... "bare ground"

- often "bare soil" gardeners, until recently, did not bother with the "pesticides" problem and used metaldehyde, which is very effective ...

- when they switch to "organic" or "permaculture" mode, they switch to ground cover and at the same time abandon metaldehyde (which is no longer sold now); and suddenly, they put on the back of the blanket the absence of "radical chemical flytoxing"; it is often an analysis error ...

- the fact remains that at the end of winter, the situation can be serious, for the reasons indicated; I then recommend the "pickup" which seems tedious, but less so than you think! During the day, spotted the locations of the attacks. At nightfall, go with a headlamp: the culprit (s) is / are there, easy to catch (put on household gloves) ... For 2 or 3 days, the "stock" is there and we have the impression never to reach the end, and then it collapses ... And a few days the problem is solved. And with me, it is for the season, because afterwards, the insects swarm.

[Yesterday evening, during such a hunt - I spotted 2 spots - huge surprise to find me face to face with a golden carabe, probably awakened from its winter torpor by the ambient heat! And active!]

In this way, we did not do 2 saw cuts to remove the hay but only one, which divided the work by 2.

It works very well for "large seeds" (beans, peas, beets ...).

A little less, I find, for plants with very small seeds: under the effect of the rain, the hay, "pushed" to the side, returns a little to its initial position and the furrows partially close ...

Keep us informed !

I am not a lover of beer, but rather a good Burgundy wine, the Beaujolais I prefer, a Windmill to stay in the peasant note

there is this kind of nutty saying everywhere, and to hear that in 2018 shows that stupidity is a sacred perennial

[Ahmed]

The stupidity is timeless ...
