Autonomie, the Marabout guide to autonomy in the vegetable garden, was published by Editions Marabout for the price of €19.90. Admit that the ambition is high, since it is a question of feeding his family. Yesterday the family garden was exotic flowers and very green grass, today it’s local plants and field flowers, tomorrow it will be radishes, lettuce and zucchini. The guide to autonomy in the vegetable garden is a well-constructed program. This is partly what appealed to Sophie Juby.
Beyond the dreamy word autonomy, there is a real program to progress in the garden. Adrien Lagnier speaks from experience, he who started with a city garden to now manage an estate in the heart of the fern forest.
The dynamic and colorful layout, the book is amply illustrated with photos, tutorials and diagrams. A complete book in four parts: Getting ready, Basic gestures, Vegetable by vegetable, each plant is presented in a synthetic way with an insert containing all the practical information and then in detail: preparation, cultivation, maintenance, tips and tricks. Dare!
