Havus

3rd edition with a brand-new section on how to make your own soil and fertiliser, among other things

Today, most people live in cities and communities with less and less contact with nature. Just 150 years ago, it looked very different. Back then, most people lived in the middle of nature and knew how it worked. Seven out of ten people worked in Swedish agriculture. Today, only about two percent work there. In a very short period of time, we have historically gone from an agricultural society, via an industrial society, to today's service-based society. Fortunately, there is still a lot of old knowledge left among our eldest generation. It is knowledge that we need to work together to preserve before it disappears completely. Therefore, we need to rediscover the knowledge of how nature's ecosystems work and how, with their help, we can start to cultivate more locally, on a small scale, and without toxins. In this book, you will gain insight into how everything works and how, by practically imitating nature's own ”way of cultivating,” you can best succeed with your organic cultivation. When we do this, we start a positive spiral towards a healthier life – both for us and for nature. It doesn't have to be time-consuming, complicated, or even expensive! To make the knowledge more accessible, there are 138 descriptive illustrations in the book. Additionally, there is a 60-page appendix with various fact tables.
