And mulching then?




by Eco-Challenge » 17/06/16, 09:22

For people who have tested the mulching method (for the vegetable patch, for ornamental plants, to obtain an aesthetic effect, etc.) and apart from a few mistakes not to be made, it is difficult to do without the technique!

Have you already had your own experiences in this area? It would be nice to compile a little bit of all the tests and results in this area because, casually, there is a lot of advantage to the process!

Hello and welcome Defi-eco,
Of course we are talking about it here, we are even on the 151st page agriculture / gardening-more-than-bio-by-plant-live-without-fatigue-t13846.html

I flew over quickly ... I see a lot of generalities. The blow of the leftover nut shells to stop the slugs, it's average :|

Hi DefiEco, glad to see that there are still young people motivated to ecology!

Yes we can say that here we have THE French-speaking specialist in mulching, I obviously named Did67.

He has just written 2 good articles on the site:
https://www.econologie.com/potager-pares ... s-travail/
https://www.econologie.com/potager-pares ... avec-foin/

In this case it is rather "hay" than mulching ...

Yes the shells of nuts, eggs or small sharp stones .... nothing works well against slugs ... Except a hedgehog ... but I never found any ...:(

There you go a little strong ...

Anyway, I would much prefer not to be an "expert" - you usually end up "dumb" to have a too narrow view of reality.

The "mulching" is only one element of my reflection and of my much broader research to produce a lot in his garden, with the minimum of effort and work, and "more than organic" ... is just a way. Not a goal.

Trying to define the best ground cover is like trying to "define" which is the "best wheel". If we do not say what machine it is and what we want to do [so if we do not define the "system"], we risk advising a particular MTB wheel to those who are trying to run a TGV!

It's a symbol of the kind of nonsense that I read every day, by people who don't take a garden as a "very complex system" or who fix the method [eg: "a square vegetable patch"] without fixing any 'Goals...

OKAY. I think, in fact, that the great "find" is the use of hay, in connection with a "thorough although incomplete" reflection on the living mechanisms of the soil as a whole (therefore by seeing the soil as a " complex "to boost - and not the plant as something to nourish or protect).

Unfortunately, I haven't found a "word" that sounds good to define this, from the Latin or Greek roots of "hay": sanos or phaenum.

Sanosaculture? Phaenomaculture ???

I vote for sanosaculture. it sounds good and it makes you think of healthy (not breast or saint, should not push)

"Fenoculture" seems to me the most suitable term: it refers, in a modernized form, to the etymology of "hay" and suggests (for the most misplaced minds!) A certain euphonic rapprochement with "lazy "... :P It would be even clearer by altering the transcription a little more and would give "feignoculture"; I find that this last word sounds good and does not evoke the medicinal lexical connection of "fenoculture" ...
