I encourage gardening!
The real question is: why "work" the land?
It may be time that I put the photos of my gardening method called: "I garden in my deckchair, a glass of beer in my left hand and a good book in my right hand". [after I first gave up gardening after my heart attack; too much trouble to provide the "so much and so much energy to work my surface - in the 200 m²]
And I do this by "clearing" a natural meadow (which has been for 1 or 2 centuries?).
I have a few troublemakers (I have to "share" this space with field mice - or some other kind of unidentified rodent - which has not yet left ...
And I can not escape either the sowing / planting, or the harvest / harvest !!! What a job, which forces me to leave my deckchair!
And I garden "more than organic" since I ban (almost) any product - pesticides, fertilizers - including "certified organic" (except rare cases, where I use certified organic products; for example to save my seedlings against the slugs!; there, no mircale - in my deckchair, I'm not going to run after them, right?).
If that interests (I do not want to get drunk), I want to share the "method" (a very big word - it's just an addition of acts of "common sense") with bicycle-gardeners! The photos, I took some, it's just a bit of a mess on my DD. I only half promise!
