Advice and suitable techniques
There are many books on vegetable gardening, but few of them deal with the cultivation of land considered difficult, i.e. land where the slope exacerbates erosion and agronomic and ergonomic difficulties. However, it is not true that growing crops on slopes is always a problem. Firstly, in many regions, learning to make the most of the slope is the only way to be able to enjoy your garden and grow some vegetables there. On the other hand, the slope has the power to prevent any problem of excess water (and for good reason!) and sometimes offers interesting aspects. Finally, the slope has given rise to an extraordinary cultural and agronomic heritage that it is up to us to preserve, for today, but perhaps also for tomorrow…
The (re)discovery of these ancestral techniques and their adaptation to new contexts has a twofold challenge: firstly, to enable the (re)cultivation of abandoned land without having to resort to heavy technical resources and oversized machinery for our modest gardens, and secondly, to demonstrate that the creation of a small family vegetable garden is possible in all contexts, including in the steepest valleys and on the steepest terrain.
