Zahradničení bez rytí - Dowding Charles a Hafferty Stephanie

Zahradničit bez rytí - je to vůbec možné? A proč vlastně? Autoři této knihy (a mnozí jiní) svou zahradu tímto způsobem obdělávají již celá desetiletí. Ušetří si tak spoustu času i práce a zároveň tím podporují přirozené a udržitelné fungování půdy a celého ekosystému. Spolupráce s přírodou se jim pak vrací především v podobě zdravější a úrodnější půdy, která lépe hospodaří s vodou a v níž se rostlinám dobře daří. O své bohaté zkušenosti se Charles a Stephanie dělí v této ucelené publikaci, v níž se láska k zahradničení a přírodě snoubí s praktičností a jednoduchost s hojností. Metoda bez rytí je přímočará. Nejprve odstraníme plevel nanesením mulče - pokrývky, pod níž mohou užitečné půdní organismy dál nerušeně fungovat. Když totiž půdu narušíme rytím, značnou část těchto organismů poškodíme či zcela zničíme. Půvab zahradničení bez rytí spočívá také v tom, že půda se nepotřebuje tak jako po narušení uzdravovat za pomoci plevelů, takže jejich výskyt přirozeně klesá. Mulčování vrstvou kompostu dodá půdě zároveň výživu i ochranu, záhony získají krásnou tmavou pokrývku a vaší zahradnické invenci nebude stát nic v cestě.

A History of Gardening, 1800-1960 - Angela Youngman

Between 1800 and 1960, gardening underwent a massive transformation, changing almost beyond recognition. It was a period when the concept of gardening as a leisure activity emerged, along with a vast array of changes in garden styles, plant breeding, the arrival of horticultural societies and shows, brands such as Suttons Seeds, and mass market tourism to garden sites. New retail styles even emerged with the advent of garden centres and containerised plants. Entrepreneurs took advantage of new technology to create products such as lawnmowers, the Wardian case terrarium and the strawberry canopy. Plant specialists searched out exotic plants from far-flung corners of the earth, risking their lives to bring back unusual specimens.

New standards were established for training, products, plants and seed quality, resulting in the arrival of seeds such as Tom Thumb lettuce and frilly edged sweet peas that are still grown today. As recognition grew of the need for a green environment, green spaces and public parks accessible to all, gardening styles underwent considerable changes. This resulted in the creation of designs ...
