The visit to Don Giardino, self-sufficient and permaculturist, was something very special for me. For over 1400 days, the vegetables and fruit he eats have come 100% from his garden. I was able to try water spinach for the first time - a really great exotic vegetable that is related to sweet potatoes and even grows in German gardens. We tried many seed-stable old and new tomato varieties - Giovanni even grows his own tomato varieties. A very important topic is permaculture, or rather ReMiPermaculture - this is his approach to a high-yield regenerative mixed and permaculture. Biodiversity, species diversity and environmental protection also play a major role here. A really great way of self-sufficiency! If you want to know more about the way Don Giardino gardens, you can read about it in detail in his book. (Advertising) The book is now available at https://borago.de/produkt/454-Don_Gia...
