Gaia Green glacial rock dust is rich in natural silica and is an excellent source of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and trace elements. It improves soil structure, drainage, water retention, and cation exchange capacity.
- Glacial rock dust allows the soil to recreate the colloids (minerals and humus) necessary to improve soil structure, moisture retention properties, nutrient availability and bacterial action.
- When the right balance is achieved, organic matter is transformed into humus and the soil becomes a favorable environment for a multitude of beneficial molds, fungi, bacteria and earthworms.
- 100% Authentic Canadian Glacial Moraine
- A unique mineral product for vegetable gardens, flower beds, transplanting and composting.
- For vegetable gardens and flower beds, incorporate up to 10 kg (22 lb) per 10 m² (107 sq ft ) into the top layer of soil once a year or as needed.

Acting daily according to one's convictions? This is the choice that Marie-Thérèse Thévard (Marie-Thé, for close friends) made about thirty years ago by successfully developing her food self-sufficiency in no-till farming in Saguenay, her adopted region in Quebec.
The Kitchen Garden is the story of her practices, convictions, and research to embody an ecological lifestyle based on independence from fossil fuels, resilience, healthy eating, permaculture, agroecology, and community living. Designed to follow each step month by month to create a thriving organic vegetable garden, this manual details the principles and techniques for growing vegetables, fruits, legumes, and even grains. One guiding principle underpins her approach: no-till farming. Faced with the soil depletion that plagues industrial agriculture, Marie-Thé champions "the genius of the soil," avoiding plowing while enriching it with mulch. All this in a boreal climate, in a context considered challenging for market gardening.
Marie-Thé's many years of experience will teach you:
- The principles of permaculture, agroecology and no-till farming;
- Crop associations to create a living and resilient ecosystem;
- Techniques for protecting crops against the cold;
- Biological methods of getting rid of major pests;
- A toolbox to organize your garden (storage, tools, sowing, planting and harvesting calendars);
- Methods for preserving vegetables and seasonal recipes;
- The essentials you need to know about poultry farming.
Marie Thévard grew up on her mother Marie-Thé's farm. She wrote this essential guide to successfully growing your own food using no-till methods and gradually achieving food self-sufficiency. Richly illustrated with diagrams and photos, this book is a must-have for ecological gardening.
Marie Thévard participated, with her mother, in the development of the Nordic no-till food gardening technique which she shares in Le jardin vivrier.

Permaculture is a philosophy and approach to land use aimed at designing ecologically sustainable living and activity spaces.
Permaculture is a philosophy and approach to land use that aims to design ecologically sustainable living and working spaces. Drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems, permaculture establishes beneficial interactions between the components of the sites it designs: humans and their needs, the land and its characteristics, the annual and perennial plants that grow there, animals, soils, microclimates, water, and so on. By connecting these elements, it forms productive, resilient, and as self-sufficient as possible systems.

Born in 1928 in Tasmania, Australia, Bill Mollison worked for several years as an environmental and marine biologist before becoming a professor at the University of Tasmania, where he established the Department of Environmental Psychology. There, in the early 1970s, he and David Holmgren developed the concept of permaculture. He elaborated a set of guiding principles that formed its ethical framework, which can be summarized as working with nature, rather than against it; making the smallest effort for the greatest change; and, above all, understanding and accepting that the problem is often the solution.
In 1981, he received the alternative Nobel Prize for his entire body of work, the essence of which he delivers to us in this fabulous, delightfully illustrated book, which invites us to rethink our market gardening practices in harmony with the environment.
This book has benefited from the utmost care from those who worked on it. The translators have strived to convey the spirit of Bill Mollison in all the subtlety of his experience and the depth of his understanding of natural phenomena. It has benefited from the review and advice of several experienced permaculture practitioners. The book's design and infographics have been meticulously crafted to ensure clarity and ease of reading. Printed in France on 100% recycled paper, this large-format book was printed with solvent-free inks and plant-based pigments. It contains 165 explanatory diagrams and drawings.

The SMART POT is the original geotextile container! Wide and shallow: perfect for a small garden of herbs, lettuce, radishes, onions or beans!
See the " Choosing the right format " guide.
Smart Pots technology lies in the porosity of the material, a thick geotextile that ensures optimal root development and therefore plant growth. Smart Pots promote excellent root development because the fabric allows for aeration of the potting soil and the root system, a fundamental principle of gardening. Aeration prevents root spiraling, which hinders healthy plant growth. Furthermore, air circulation prevents overheating, which is harmful to roots and soil microorganisms.
Smart Pots are simple to use and easy to clean. They are washable and collapsible for storage. They are made of lightweight and durable material (7 to 10 years). They are unbreakable.
You can add a saucer (to prevent water from running out) or raise the Smart Pots slightly off the ground (on wooden slats for example) to ensure greater aeration for the plants.
High-performing
- Maximum ventilation
- No root spiraling
- Denser root system = more efficient
- Excellent drainage
- No overheating like in traditional pots
Versatile
- Available in all formats
- For all places: large production, nurseries, greenhouses, balconies, rooftop vegetable gardens, cultivable areas, walls, railings, etc.
- For all crops: vegetables, flowers, herbs, small fruits, trees, etc.
Easy to use
- They can be left outside in winter.
- Unbreakable, lifespan of 5 to 10 years
See the " Choosing the right format " guide.
You will find information on the volume of substrate (potting soil and compost) and the number of plants that can be planted in each Smart Pot size.
