Create your self-fertile garden | Backyards of yesteryear Étape 1: Faites un plan. Saviez-vous qu’il serait possible d’avoir un potager presque sans entretien? Qu’il n’y aurait aucun arrosage manuel, fertilisation chimique ou crainte de voir tous ses fruits ou légumes dévorés par les hordes d’insectes ou détruits par une quelconque maladie ou champignon. Étape 2: Délimitez le terrain En effet, le potager deviendrait un organisme vivant en soi, se régulant seul tout en augmentant sa productivité de manière naturelle. Étape 3: Buttez en creusant vos sentiers Avec la collaboration de Madame Suzanne Gendreault, celle-ci m’a remise quelques photographies (explications à l’appui) suite à sa formation sur lesquelles on peut visualiser la mise sur pied d’un jardin autofertile respectueux de l’environnement mais aussi destiné aux jardiniers écologiques. Étaoe 4: Creuser le tour du jardin Par la suite, il y aura une période d’adaptation mais le potager devrait se régir de lui-même et s’autoréguler. Étape 5: Aplanissez vos buttes Étape 12: Paillez le carton
Mystery, The Pick Up Artist After about ten years of trial and error, Mystery assumingly learned how to talk to women.

However, he still would have remained out of the public's eye had it not been for the book The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pick-up Artists. This is him, right here.

5 Secrets to a ‘No-work’ Garden | Eartheasy Blog - StumbleUpon It took over 20 years of gardening to realize that I didn’t have to work so hard to achieve a fruitful harvest. As the limitless energy of my youth gradually gave way to the physical realities of mid-life, the slow accretion of experience eventually led to an awareness that less work can result in greater crop yields. Inspired in part by Masanobu Fukuoka’s book, One Straw Revolution, my family experimented with gardening methods which could increase yields with less effort. Fukuoka spent over three decades perfecting his so-called “do-nothing” technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort. Here are the strategies we used which enabled us to greatly increase our garden yield, while requiring less time and less work. 1. With ‘no-till’ gardening, weeding is largely eliminated. 2. Gardeners are always on the lookout for free sources of clean organic mulch to add to their garden.

How 1 MILLION Pounds Of Organic Food Can Be Produced On 3 Acres By Andy Whiteley Co-Founder of Wake Up World The quality and accessibility of our food supply is a mounting issue today. So, with limited space, how can we create an independent food supply?

If you’re interested in starting your own Aquaponics system in your home, be sure to check out our exclusive special offer to Wake Up World readers at the bottom of this page. Grow 1 Million Pounds of Food on 3 Acres Using greenhouses and a closed eco-system technology known as Aquaponics, Will Allen has taken urban farming to new extremes. * Maintaining 3 acres of land in green houses * Producing 10,000 fish * Using 300 to 500 yards of worm compost * Utilizing vertical space * Using 1 simple aquaponic pump Growing Power
Surviving the Middle Class Crash Bio and hyperproductive: the magic of a Quebec farm farmer Jardinier-maraîcher ? Fermier de familles ? Jean-Martin Fortier lui même a du mal à qualifier son métier. Ce canadien de 35 ans exploite depuis 2005 la ferme des Jardins de la Grelinette, à Saint-Armand, à quelques kilomètres de Montréal, au Québec. Sa ferme est une micro-ferme. Elle mesure moins d’un hectare, loin de la taille moyenne d’une exploitation française qui est de 55 hectares. Avec sa compagne, ils appliquent des techniques découvertes en voyageant et travaillant dans des fermes notamment au Nouveau-Mexique et à Cuba. Terra eco : Pourquoi avez-vous souhaité travailler sur une très petite surface, ce que personne n’avait jamais fait au Québec ? Jean-Martin Fortier : Nous souhaitions démarrer notre production, mais nous n’avions pas les moyens d’investir beaucoup. Pouvez-vous résumer votre méthode de production, que vous appelez bio-intensive ? Puisque nous travaillons sur une petite surface, il nous a fallu intensifier au maximum notre production. Tout à fait.
How to Make Chicken Stock at Home Chicken Stock- How to Make at Home Two Types of Chicken Stock There are basically two types of chicken stock you can make at home. One is “brown” and the other “white”. The difference is simple. The brown stock is made from roasted chicken bones and the white stock is not. But some recipes, including those for making some white sauces and white stews & braises require a white chicken stock. What is a Sachet? A sachet is a small bag made out of cloth or cheesecloth that is filled with various herbs and spices and used to add flavor to soup, stews, stocks and sauces. Fresh herbs and spices are better but dried will do nicely if you don’t have access to fresh. Alternatives to Homemade I used to make chicken stock at home all the time and use some for a recipe and freeze the rest in quart containers. Chicken Stock- How to Make Homemade Chicken Stock Ingredients: 5 pounds chicken pieces, wings, backs and necks. How To Make At Home: Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Add the sachet to the pot.
