Taking advantage of the educational vocation of the Potager des Princes in Chantilly (Oise), Patrick Mioulane explains with Serge Sage, the head gardener of the place, the principles of permaculture. Our two gardeners, who had already presented aquaponics to you in a previous video: • WHEN FISH MAKE FISH GROW... , begin by discussing the basics of this philosophy which is not limited to keeping the soil covered permanently. The idea is to make the most of nature's potential to create a balanced environment in which plants will thrive with minimal human intervention. Our two friends then detail the technical elements of an above-ground creation which combines carbon and nitrogen elements, but also biodiversity, companionship, mulch, etc. Our report ends in another part of the garden where a permaculture mound has been created in the ground. A very topical video which shows you in a simple and clear way the good practices to adopt to get started in permaculture.
