Treatment-free crop protection is a real challenge in bio-intensive market gardening. Pests can cause considerable damage, reducing yields and compromising crop quality. It's in this context that anti-insect nets have emerged as an effective, sustainable and 100% natural solution.

Intensive organic market gardening is a cultivation method that aims to maximize vegetable production on small surfaces while respecting the principles of organic agriculture. One of the key techniques in this approach is covering the soil to improve fertility and control weeds. Among the materials used, silage tarpaulin stands out for its effectiveness.

Small-scale organic gardening is a method inspired by the Parisian market gardeners of the 19th century. This technique was revived by pioneers such as Eliot Coleman. Thanks to these methods, farmers can achieve high yields even in small spaces. This is made possible by optimizing productivity and respecting the principles of organic farming. By using innovative, environmentally-friendly techniques, market gardeners can grow a wide variety of vegetables while preserving soil biodiversity. The effectiveness of this method has been widely recognized, and has contributed to the popularization of small-scale, bio-intensive market gardening in many countries around the world.

You can now plan your season and monitor your crops with ease thanks to Brinjel, an open-source software package designed specifically for market gardeners.

Brinjel is the successor to Qrop and will be available from December 2023! Take advantage of this opportunity to optimize your farming activities and improve your productivity. Don't miss this new and improved version, developed in collaboration with market gardeners themselves.

Compost in intensive organic market gardening is the fundamental basis of soil fertility. Just as in the 19th century, Parisian market gardeners used large quantities of horse manure from the city to enrich their soil. In the same way, we adopt this practice by adding a significant quantity of organic matter to our gardens. In fact, the equivalent of 150 tonnes per hectare per year for the first 3 years brings a remarkable transformation to your soil.

The drip irrigation system is widely used on our farm, as it allows water to be supplied in a highly localized manner, resulting in real savings. In this blog post, we'll explore the specifics and advantages of this irrigation method in intensive organic market gardening.
