Beskrivelse af Landrace Gardening
How to grow food when you can't buy seeds, fertilizers, or pesticides. Bringing dynamic back into vegetable gardening, seed saving, and breeding of plants and animals. A joyful and accessible approach to growing tasty, productive, and resiliently diverse food.
Advocating a return to traditional regenerative horticulture methods of gardening and farming, while minimizing the use of industrialized methods. Focusing on communities, and local varieties of crops and animals. Biodiversity and cross pollination allow selection for crops that thrive under ever changing conditions, lessening the need for costly inputs, like poisons, fertilizer, materials, and labor. Less labor means more time for friends, family, music, dancing, and joy.
The book includes detailed suggestions for developing a more reliable food system using local crop varieties. The techniques taught in this book can bring self-reliance and sustainable food security to small scale back yard beginner gardens, large scale farms, and permaculture food forests.
A chapter discusses pollination and the benefits of encouraging cross-pollination.
Chapters deal with breeding tomatoes, corn, beans, squash, and grains. Includes tips on growing many other vegetable varieties. The appendix includes a summary of which vegetables and grains work easiest with landrace gardening.
One chapter extends the principles of local gardening to breeding chickens, honeybees, mushrooms, and trees.
