With the rapid decline of our financial system and food supply, grocery store produce and other products, may soon be at a crisis level shortage like we have never seen.

calendrier lunaire précis:le jardinage biodynamique Le plus important à connaître : période de lune ascendante ou montante (la sève monte) : pour des végétaux plus compacts taille des arbres, arbustes, rosiers ...la taille en lune montante limite la contamination par des maladies.... il est donc faux d'affirmer que la taille se fait obligatoirement en lune descendante, il faut prendre aussi en compte l'âge de vos végétaux (VOIR EXPLICATIONS CI-DESSOUS)....en début de cette période, récolte des fruits, des feuilles et des fleurs, tout ce qui touche la partie aérienne des végétaux, tous les semis. période de lune descendante ( la sève descend) : récolte de tout ce qui est racines mais aussi cette période favorise l'enracinement : plantations, transplantations, rempotages etc.... puisqu'elle concerne la partie souterraine des plantes donc les racines.

End Times Report 9 Steps To Starting A Survival Garden In a time of economic uncertainty and rising food prices, it it always a good idea to have a garden to provide extra food for you and your family. Besides providing a source of food in an emergency, a garden is also a great source of wonderful vegetables which are MUCH healthier to eat than most of the food you can get at the supermarket. So how do you begin? The following are 9 steps that you can take to get your garden started..... #1) Decide What Your Goals Are - Do you want to grow enough just to add a few vegetables to your dinner once in a while? Do you want it to be able to provide enough food for your family if there is a major emergency? Some people who want to live "off the grid" end up building a garden large enough that it will provide almost all of the food that their family needs. #2) Evaluate Your Land - Once you know what your goals are, you need to evaluate the land that you are currently living on. So what is the solution? Comments comments

Survival Gardening And a Way to Relax and De-Stress Survival gardening can be fun, relaxing and actually quite simple… Many people seem to think they don’t have enough space for a garden but the areas where you can learn how to grow a basic vegetable garden are endless. Yep, I am talking about those spaces we try to fill in with all kinds of flowers, shrubs, and even in some cases, gravel, so that it looks nice…. :) Plant your veggies there. Along Side Your House The area alongside the house is perfect for plants as it is protected from many things, such as: Frost, will stay frost-free longer in the fallcritters, we have to protect everything we grow here in Montana from hungry deerhail, heavy rains, strong wind… plus the plants seem to grow faster and I think it may be because heat is magnified. You may want to use non-hybrid seeds to do gardening as you will be able to harvest your own seeds for the following year this way.

Jackie’s tips for hardcore homesteading by Jackie Clay Many of us have a garden and enjoy fresh vegetables during the summer and fall. Maybe we even have a few chickens for eggs and meat. But many of us may want to extend our homesteading to what I call "hard-core" homesteading. This is serious homesteading, aimed at being able to provide your family with nearly all of its basic needs. Luckily, most of us with a piece of out-of-the-way land can become nearly "store-bought-free," raising much of what we need in nearly the same way as did our ancestors. There is a vast difference between this type of survival homesteading and stars-in-the-eyes, back-to-nature, recreational homesteading to relieve stress and provide enjoyment. The survival garden It has been said that one can raise enough food for a family of four in a 50- by 50-foot space. When one needs a garden to put up food, not only for the winter but possibly for a year or two, we're talking about at least an acre of intense cropping. You can't grow everything, everywhere.

Square Foot Gardening 101 Update! Check out our new Square Foot Gardening Infographic for even more tips, diagrams, a plant list and much more. I recently stumbled upon a book (All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less Space! by Mel Bartholomew) with an interesting gardening method called square foot gardening, and decided we would give it a try. I know just enough about gardening to know that I am not very good at it, and that it is a lot of work. What is Square Foot Gardening? The idea behind square foot gardening is that you can plant fruits, vegetables and flowers in raised beds, above infertile soil and even out of the reach of pets. Materials Needed to Set Up a Square Foot Garden Material costs are variable, depending on the size of garden you plan to build. (1) Sheet untreated plywood – $0.00 (leftover scrap from a previous home improvement project) (2) 2x6x8 pieces of untreated lumber – $7.38 Don’t get treated lumber because treatments can seep into the soil and contaminate your planting area.

La Terra Preta, une méthode d'avenir en agriculture durable. La Terra Preta est un sol artificiel, une terre noire exceptionnellement fertile se trouvant sur les bords du fleuve Amazone. C'est l'une des terres les plus fertiles au monde, mais sa particularité est de ne pas être un sol "naturel". Il a été crée entre -800 et 500 par une civilisation précolombienne aujourd'hui disparue. La terra Petra se caractérise par une terre noire très riches en carbone, et d'une épaisseur allant de 50 cm à 2 mètres. Mais aussi par sa capacité à se renouveler d'elle-même à raison de 1cm par an. Cette terre n'est toutefois pas uniquement constituée de morceau de charbon. Ce sol forme par sa structure un sol aéré donc chaud, poreux, il capte facilement l'eau, il est donc particulièrement propice a un bon développement racinaire... L'on pourrait penser qu'une terre amendée de charbon plus ou moins actif serait totalement stérile, le charbon étant réputé pour ses facultés bactéricides.
