Plants & Garden
GARDEN AND PERMACULTURE
Our plants are, partly wild plants harvested on our land, and for others, grown in our garden in Organic Farming and following to the maximum the precepts of permaculture, with the greatest respect for nature and ecosystems.
The word permaculture is a contraction of permanent and culture, it was invented in the 70s by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren.
It defines a way of gardening but also a way of life, it combines the use of techniques that respect the land and the ecosystems in order to obtain food or plants that take care of the people, all with an equitable sharing of the harvests, and relies on the relationships between plants, ecosystems, humans.
It is defined by two words: Efficiency and Ethics and refers to three principles:
* take care of nature (soils, forests, water)
* take care of humans
* share / distribute resources equitably
So, in this spirit, we decided to cultivate on mounds, which also allowed us to divert the disadvantages of this very stony land.
The hill planting allows, among other things,increase the cultivation area, significantly reduce water consumption, increase the yield with an aerated, drained and living soil, improve the sunshine, and increase the working comfort, using no chemical or other input.
The construction of the mounds:
