"3rd day of fair in Libramont (Belgium) where all forms of agriculture are exposed." "From the most industrialized ones to the most natural." "Here is a particular type of agriculture, somehow taboo, the permaculture." "The principle :" "let the nature do, by avoiding plowing for example..." "A report by Aurelie Didier." "Translated from french to english by The Unknown Masturbator." "Look at that !" "Hmmm..." "This is good !" "More than 2000 types of fruit trees, a delight from my garden," "Here are yellow raspberries" "5000 kinds of vegetables, it's a 1800 sq meters labyrinth you have to taste that, it's a Japanese rose!" "A food forest in the center of Mouscron (Belgium)" "It's small, ... -but the taste is uncomparable..." " and it's beautiful!" "Amazingly, the soil has never been plowed..." "We never plow the garden." "The soil has never been turned over nor moved since about 40 years." "The organic wastes are thrown directly on the floor" "We kept as much as possible compost that the soil will get back, digest it to its own profit and to the one of the growing plants." "This couple have, by this way, recreated some kind of " jungle"..." "It's the opposite of all paradigms in agronomy." "There was never any pesticide, insecticide... used in this garden since 40 years." "Normally, nothing should grow here" "This is the life's triumph." "The usual gardening is death." "It's the war, the fight." "We have to kill everything that's moving :" "Weeds, insects..." "Here it's the opposite, I aim to feed everyone, and everyone is participating." "There's so much birds  other, that I never see a caterpillar, and only a few slugs, we have less and less work, and more and more food." "To give an independent opinion, we have asked to a specialist of horticulture to come." "The soil's quality is incredible." "All a life system has been recreated underground." "It's ventilated and rich" "To dig with a spade would destroy it." "But according to the specialist, the permaculture is difficult to apply into the intensive agriculture, in which the fruits have to be aligned and harvested with machines." "Permaculture would be more adapted to market gardening, and would be beneficial to market gardeners who sell locally  directly fresh products." "We can think about it, with a manual products harvest." "At home, they have more than 6000 types of seeds, 800 kinds of tomatoes for example." " I would like some lamb's lettuce seeds" " number 102-010" "This couple want the organic farming to be affordable." "They teach and give curses." "Here, one pack of seeds is only 25 cts." "We have been always really annoyed that the organic products are affordable one by rich people." "People become back creators, they cultivate the plant from the begin to the end, they consume it, they keep the seed to reproduce it." "They are participating to the creation." "But now, we only ask them to do this way, we only ask them to obey and to not think about what they do." "And the people become stupid  idiot." "Here, the food is never put in tin-can." "They are varieties that grow all year long." "People usually think that salads are growing only part of the year." "That's false!" "Even in winter we can eat lettuces and many different vegetables." "After 40 years of gardening, this couple discover each year, new varieties of plants that appear in their garden."
