Reseña del libro "french market-gardening : including prac (en Inglés)"
First published in 1909, this volume contains a classic guide to 'market gardening' with a particular focus on the French style of gardens. A market garden is the small-scale production of vegetables, fruits, and flowers for direct sale to consumers and restaurants. With step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations, this volume is recommended for those with an interest growing produce for pleasure or profit. Contents include: "The Meaning of 'Intensive' Cultivation", "The History of Intensive Cultivation in France", "Work in a French Garden", "The Sit for a French Garden", "The Soil and its Treatment", "Water Supply", "Manures", "Making the Hot-Beds", "Cost and Maintenance of a French Garden", "A Word to Amateur Gardeners", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
