Clippings, leaves, hedges, branches, brambles…
Dead leaves, clippings, twigs and branches, crop residues: gold for the garden!
No more standing helpless before the piles of dead leaves, grass clippings and prunings that build up season after season. Rather than wearing yourself out carting this material off to overflowing recycling centres, or defying the ban on burning it, this book invites you to change the way you look at it: what if this “waste” were in fact gold for your garden? By learning to make use of every crop residue right where it lies, you turn a logistical burden into a real windfall for the fertility of your soil. It is a whole ecological approach, as good for the health of your plants as it is for the community.
Written for every gardener, urban, suburban or in a community garden, this book in the “Facile & Bio” series concentrates on immediate recycling solutions other than composting. Through step-by-step picture sequences and photographs taken in the field, it sets out accessible techniques: mulching, leaving material where it falls, reducing waste at source, and building shelters for the garden’s helpful creatures.
The aim is clear: a more productive garden with less effort and no expensive equipment, simply using what nature already gives you.
This practical guide is an essential answer to today’s questions about managing biowaste, and it makes every gardener a strong promise: more fertility, happier garden allies and guaranteed savings.
