Living with the Earth: A Manual for Market Gardeners 2 Food Crops and Forest Gardens

A highly detailed and beautifully illustrated guide to growing nutritious herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables, ideal for the home grower and market gardener. Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyer have designed a small farm in Normandy that is so productive, it provides a living for five people whilst cultivating just a small percentage of the land, and rewilding the rest. In Volume 1 of Living with the Earth, they describe the overarching principles and influences of ecology and permaculture, and share how they work with Nature to create highly productive systems. Volume 2 of this comprehensive series dives deep into the details. Subjects include: * growing methods * seeding & soil preparation * plant densities and replicable crop associations * tools, irrigation and harvesting * growing year-round * vegetables, fruit, microgreens, flowers, mushrooms, tree crops and forest gardens. Beautifully designed and full of useful, descriptive photographs, diagrams and charts, this manual provides a wealth of research and practical experience. These volumes are ground-breaking, with principles and practices that can be used on any scale. They are, however, of particular interest to small to medium scale farmers, horticulturists, forest gardeners, agronomists and market gardeners.
