Let’s rebel: Seed propagation for our future!

Do you want to know where your food comes from and live by the motto: best from your own garden or not at all? Have you fallen in love with permaculture and want to make the world a little better? Or are you simply crazy about your homegrown plants – the juicy tomatoes and the incredibly fragrant oregano – and want to upgrade to the next level? Then why not do it yourself! Dive into the world of plant propagation and grow your favorite vegetables year after year. It doesn’t get more sustainable than this: carrots, thyme, potatoes, and strawberries sprout in your garden and will return next year as seeds, cuttings, mother plants, or runners – the natural cycle continues and starts anew. Without genetic engineering, transport miles, or packaging. Instead, in all shapes and colors and with such a unique taste that you can hardly believe it.

Plant diversity ahead! Harvest and propagate as your colorful vegetable heads and vibrant herb leaves have grown!

Seed harvesting and cutting propagation: Magic? When you watch your seed grow into a plant, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched. And it’s really quite easy! The author Sigrid Drage provides you with all the information and tips you need to ultimately plant the most productive, resistant, and best-suited seeds and cuttings for your garden. Completely naturally and gently, of course – and entirely according to the principles of permaculture. Starting with the basics: How should you best sow, pre-cultivate, plant, and care for your plants? And of course: everything about pollination, fertilization, generative and vegetative propagation. Basics checked off? Then we can move on: with detailed portraits of 50.
