Names that are not preceded by an asterixe are varieties which crossing with their more numerous "mediocre" common cousins would decrease their qualities.
20 Urban Food Forests from Around the World The Seven Layers of a Food Forest. Diagram by Graham Burnett via Wikipedia. The concept of a food forest has its roots in permaculture, a philosophy that advocates for managing agricultural landscapes in harmony with nature. The practice emphasizes perennial, low-maintenance crops that leverage natural nutrient inputs, drainage patterns and climate to achieve a self-sustaining, food-producing ecosystem. A food forest is quite literally a forest that produces food for people (and, most certainly, forest critters) to eat. Nut and fruit-producing trees and shrubs are planted with herbs, vines and ground flora that produce fruits, vegetables, and edible greens and roots. Here's a quick rundown of 20 urban food forests or related projects: 1. Launched in London in 2011, the London Orchard Projects works with community groups to inventiry, restore and create urban orchards across the city. 2. 3.

12 Sustainable Design Ideas from Nature “In this inspiring talk about recent developments in biomimicry, Janine Benyus provides heartening examples of ways in which nature is already influencing the products and systems we build.”-TEDx “Learning about the natural world is one thing, learning from the natural world is another.” - Janine Benyus There are 2 things that we need to ask ourselves in order to learn from the world around us. #1 How does nature make things? With this in mind perhaps we are the ones that are not as technologically advanced as the world around us. Life makes everything by adding information or structure onto matter in order to give it function. #2 How does life make ‘things’ disappear into structure? 12 Sustainable Design Ideas from Nature 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Nature is truly remarkable and it is obvious that there is a lot we can learn here. Let us know what you think in the comments. Thank you for reading, Kirsten Team Spirit
Comment créer un jardin-forêt en permaculture ? (Par Guillaume Paluch) Dans cet article je vais vous expliquer pas à pas comment créer votre jardin-forêt comestible en permaculture. Qu’est ce qu’un jardin-forêt ? Un jardin-forêt est un verger multiétagé qui imite le fonctionnement des écosystèmes naturels. Ce type de culture est pratiqué depuis plusieurs milliers d’années par les peuples autochtones dans les régions tropicales. Comme dans les écosystèmes le jardin-forêt est composé de 7 strates de végétations qui interagissent entre elles : Les arbres et arbustes de plein soleil : Tous les fruitiers greffés.Les arbustes qui tolèrent la mi-ombre : sureaux, noisetiers, amélanchier…Les arbrisseaux : cassis, groseilliers à grappes, maquereaux…Les vivaces : rhubarbe, poireaux perpétuels, artichauts…Les annuelles et bisannuelles : choux kale, blettes, mâches…Les plantes grimpantes : kiwis, vignes, ronces fruitères…Les champignons : pleurotes, shii-take… Mettre en place un jardin-forêt en permaculture. Plantation des arbres et arbustes de plein soleil. Les vivaces.
Red Worm Composting GeoPathfinder GeoPathfinder.com has moved to new addresses! The information on this page is no longer being updated or maintained. It has been divided into new categories, and it is built and edited using new software. The new categories and pages, formerly known as our Food Preservation Page are:Solar Food Drying , Energy-Wise Cooking & Canning , The Four-Season Pantry , and Live Food Storage . The following information is still posted for historical purposes only. Energy Efficient Food Preservation Once you've gotten started with gardening, you'll soon have to find a way to deal with the surplus (hopefully you've planned for this!). Hopefully, you may be inspired to try building your own solar food dryer, maybe even one like the model we designed, shown further below. We have type 304 stainless steel, plain weave, 12-mesh, .018" wire size, dryer screening available for immediate shipment. Of course, food that is fresh is best, but our Minnesota winters challenge that approach. Basic Design Principles:
Démarrer un Jardin en Permaculture - Permatheque Afin de mieux appréhender les bases nécessaires à la création d’un jardin en permaculture, voici quelques courts paragraphes explicatifs sur des points essentiels, suivis par une sélection d’articles, vidéos et documents au format PDF pour vous accompagner dans cette aventure. La base de tout design en permaculture : l’Observation Avant de se lancer dans la réalisation d’un jardin, il est essentiel de réfléchir à certains points pour éviter de nombreux désagréments. Bien connaître le lieu où vous allez l’implanter est la base, concevoir un jardin en Permaculture demande donc avant tout un long travail d’observation : Le principe étant de cultiver en collaboration avec la nature, il est important d’en déceler les agissements avant de démarrer ses cultures : Zones d’ensoleillement / ombre, sur les différentes saisonsReliefs – Ruissèlements des eaux de pluiePlantes bio-indicatrices (poussant seules et informations sur la nature du sol)Zones exposées au vent, au gel…… Favoriser la Biodiversité
weblife.org: Humanure Handbook: Chapter 3: Compost Myths What is one of the first things to come to mind when one thinks of compost? Turning the pile. Turn, turn, turn, has become the mantra of composters worldwide. Early researchers who wrote seminal works in the composting field, such as Gotaas, Rodale, and many others, emphasize turning compost piles, almost obsessively so. Much of compost's current popularity in the West can be attributed to the work of Sir Albert Howard, who wrote An Agricultural Testament (1943) and several other works on aspects of what has now become known as organic agriculture. Sir Howard's discussions of composting techniques focus on the Indore process of composting, a process developed in Indore, India, between the years of 1924 and 1931. A large industry has emerged from this philosophy, one which manufactures expensive compost turning equipment, and a lot of money, energy, and expense goes into making sure compost is turned regularly. Or do you? Turning compost potentially serves four basic purposes. No.
