CONT

Un des systèmes les plus compliqués, qui ne peut être pratiqué que dans des régions marécageuses, est celui de la chinampa [...] Il consiste à créer des îlots de terre arable en accumulant le limon d'une lagune sur des morceaux de bois et des claies de roseaux. Ces jardins, d'abord flottants, se fixent au fond, à mesure que le niveau de l'eau baisse.
