Perrine and Charles Herv�-Gruyer have designed a small farm in Normandy that is so productive, it provides a living for five people whilst cultivating just a small percentage of the land, and rewilding the rest. In Volume 1 of Living with the Earth, they describe the overarching principles and influences of ecology and permaculture, and share how they work with Nature to create highly productive systems.    Volume 2 of this comprehensive series dives deep into the details. Subjects include:*  growing methods*  seeding \u0026amp; soil preparation*  plant densities and replicable crop associations*  tools, irrigation and harvesting*  growing year-round*  vegetables, fruit, microgreens, flowers, mushrooms, tree crops and forest gardens.
