Description
New edition
Buoyed by the international success of the first edition of Le Jardinier-Maraîcher, Jean-Martin Fortier continued to perfect his diversified market gardening techniques and to test tools to optimize his organic crops on a small area. In this new revised and expanded edition, it is with the same generosity that he once again shares his know-how in order to help people who dream of launching into organic farming and market gardeners who wish to improve their cultivation practices . Yes, it is possible to grow organic vegetables intensively on land of less than one hectare, to feed several hundred people in short circuits and to make your micro-farm profitable!
Now considered a reference in organic farming, this practical guide provides cultural notes on more than 25 vegetables and teaches you, step by step, how to:
- choose the location of a site inspired by permaculture
- minimize investments when starting your business
- use alternative machinery to the tractor
- grow in permanent beds with a minimal tillage approach
- organically fertilize your crops
- effectively fight against diseases and harmful insects
- weed with the best tools
- extend the season by “forcing” your crops
- develop a crop calendar
- do good financial planning
