Ces herbes qu'on dit mauvaises

release date: Jan 01, 1993
Ces herbes qu'on dit mauvaises
Jo Readman nous propose dans ce livre une autre approche des mauvaises herbes que le classique " comment s'en débarrasser ". Elle nous apprend d'abord à mieux connaître ces plantes aux propriétés souvent méconnues. Certaines ont des vertus médicinales. D'autres sont de véritables légumes sauvages, riches en vitamines et en minéraux. D'autres encore améliorent le sol, l'ameublissent ou nous renseignent sur sa fertilité. Enfin, elles nourrissent de nombreux insectes auxiliaires et oiseaux. Ces bonnes " mauvaises herbes ", il faut quand même en garder le contrôle, sans pour autant risquer de s'empoisonner et de polluer l'environnement avec des produits chimiques. On trouvera dans ce livre toutes les techniques écologiques permettant de ne pas se laisser envahir par les plantes sauvages du jardin : désherbage par la chaleur, " faux semis ", mulching, engrais verts nettoyants, rotation, sarclage, etc.
