A reference book that shows that permaculture is applicable to "conventional" farms, with a view to their ecological regeneration.

The book lays the foundations for the design and management of perennial agricultural systems (which rely primarily on perennial plants), with a view to reconsidering the main current societal challenges (food, energy, environment, climate) in light of their close relationship with crop and livestock farming activities.

The result is a more autonomous, diversified, sustainable agriculture, producing not only varied food resources (cereals, fruits, animal fodder, mushrooms, honey...), but also wood energy, medicinal plants, textile fiber, etc... from the plot to the territory.

Marius Fabre is reviving the wall-mounted soap dish, which originated around 1950. It was originally designed to make soap use easier, particularly in schools and public places. The soap, rotating on the dish's stem, is easier to handle, more aesthetically pleasing, and cleaner. No more soap slipping through your fingers!

Rich, practical, and insightful, this full-color book is illustrated with concrete diagrams. It will be useful to traditional gardeners looking for new solutions, as well as committed permaculture practitioners and landscape designers.

Observing nature, the areas around the house, design, the importance of biodiversity and the forest. This is a lovely book to introduce children and adults to the fundamentals of permaculture.

The SMART POT is the original geotextile container! Wide and shallow: perfect for a small garden of herbs, lettuce, radishes, onions or beans!

Ideal for urban gardening, the Smart Pot raised garden bed revolutionizes plant cultivation thanks to its innovative design and numerous advantages. Made of breathable, UV-resistant geotextile, it promotes root growth by ensuring optimal ventilation. Its efficient drainage prevents waterlogging and root tangling. Lightweight and easy to move, it also offers effective thermal management by allowing excess heat to dissipate. Compatible with drip irrigation systems, the Smart Pot raised garden bed is a practical and affordable choice for a beautiful garden.

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

The Bio Plus P-30 floating row cover can be installed as soon as the crops are planted. This model is designed for extreme weather conditions, particularly in regions where crops need protection from severe frost or very low temperatures. The cover thus extends the growing season well into the year. It is strongly recommended to install the cover on hoops spaced 1.2 m (4 ft) apart to avoid damaging the plants.

Floating plant covers create an ideal microclimate for plant growth by capturing the sun's heat throughout the day. It is therefore important to install them early so they have time to absorb this heat. They are also permeable, allowing plants access to rainwater.

The P-30 is a floating row cover made of three overlapping layers of non-woven fabric, resulting in a perfectly homogeneous structure. It offers the best thermal protection for crops against the cold available on the market.

The advantages:

• Superior thermal qualities compared to any other floating cover
• Increased weather resistance
• Unparalleled extensibility, favorable to crops with strong vegetative growth
• Easy reuse
• Weight without reinforced edge: (30g/m²) (0.1oz/ft²)

Available format:

• 7.2' x 30' (2.2m x 9.15m)

The sprinkler system uses nozzles to spray water, mimicking the effect of rain . It's ideal for leafy greens and root vegetables that like to have moist foliage , such as carrots, spinach and cabbage, turnips, radishes, beans, watercress, celery, beets, leafy greens, celeriac… In short, anything that's sprayed at the grocery store! This method prevents the foliage from drying out and preserves the freshness of the vegetables.

Sprinkler irrigation covers a large area very easily. It is therefore an ideal watering method for medium to large vegetable gardens.

This micro-sprinkler irrigation system was developed in collaboration with Dany Bouchard and Vincent Marcoux, market gardeners, trainers and co-founders of the Académie Potagère.

The Bio Plus green bird netting, made of 40 g/ ^m² high-density polyethylene, is the most effective way to protect your crops available on the market. When installed on a structure, this bird netting allows you to work underneath it. The green netting can also be installed directly over the plants, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

The Bio Plus green bird netting is an excellent way to protect your fruit bushes and vines from birds trying to eat your crops. The diamond mesh measures 3/4" and the netting weighs 40 g/m². Made of high-density polyethylene, the netting has a lifespan of several years when used properly.

The 10% margins in length and width allow for:

• Facilitating installation on hoops or structures
• Secure the net to the ground using weights
• Compensating for irregularities in the terrain
• Adapting to the undulations of the net between the plants
• Cut the net to the desired dimensions.

Solitary bees, also called wild bees, carpenter bees, or mason bees, are important pollinators. There are over 350 species of these bees in Quebec. They are the first to pollinate flowers in the spring and represent a vital link in our ecosystem. Provide them with a winter habitat! They will lay their eggs there, which will give rise to life when spring returns.

• Each insect hotel can accommodate solitary bees.
• Solitary bees are not aggressive towards humans because they have no honey to defend. More than half don't even have a stinger. They carry out their pollination work within a radius of 250 meters.
• Orient the front of the hotel to the south or southeast, with its back to the prevailing winds and sheltered from the elements, at least 30 cm from the ground.
• Pre-installed anchor on the back of the hotel for installation on a house, shed, fence, deck, etc. Avoid drilling into tree trunks. Can also be installed on a post (cedar post, fence post) using a separately sold bracket.
• Plant a beautiful variety of flowers that attract solitary bees.
• The top of the insect hotel can also accommodate ladybugs and lacewings, which are excellent predators of aphids.
• Avoid the use of pesticides and insecticides.
• Height 12 ¾ in (32.38 cm); width 7 ½ in (19.05 cm); depth 6 in (15.24 cm); Weight approx. 4 lb (1.8 kg).
• Cedar hotel made in the Eastern Townships by an artisan who has a great concern for the environment.
