GARDEN SPOT [3 records]

Record 1 2023-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
CONT

Technically speaking, the bokashi method is a form of fermentation rather than composting—while composting decomposes waste and results in matter ready to be added to a garden, bokashi ferments(or pickles) food and results in matter still too acidic to be added to plants. That's why the final stage of bokashi composting is to add the bokashi matter to a compost bin or fallow spot in the garden. In short, bokashi is a way to quickly ferment food scraps so that they can be composted faster.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
  • Fumure et amélioration du sol
CONT

Le bokashi permet la fermentation des déchets organiques grâce à des micro-organismes, dits efficaces, mélangés à de la mélasse et du son de blé. [...] Le compost, obtenu grâce au bokashi, est très riche en nutriments, néanmoins il ne peut pas être directement mélangé à la terre, puisque la forte concentration d'acides aminés produits par la fermentation pourrait endommager les jeunes racines.

Record 2 2016-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
CONT

A horse racing in second position on the rail is said to have the garden spot, since the horse ahead of him is cutting the wind, yet is close enough to the front of the field to make a strong bid in the home stretch.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Courses hippiques et sports équestres
CONT

Un cheval qui occupe la deuxième position, à l'intérieur, derrière le meneur, en course, occupe la position idéale, aux dires des connaisseurs, parce que le cheval qui le précède lui coupe le vent et qu'il pourra chercher à le devancer dans la ligne droite.

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Located between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, the Jardin des Tuileries and the Jardin du Carrousel date back to the construction of the Tuileries palace for Catherine de Médicis in 1564. A century later Le Nôtre elaborated on the layout to create a perfect example of the French formal garden. The Jardin des Tuileries was a public strolling spot for XVIIIth century high society and remained open to the public through the XIXth century, while the area closest to the palace, soon renamed the Jardin du Carrousel, became part of the sovereign's residence.

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
CONT

Le jardin régulier est caractérisé par des lignes droites et des formes géométriques. Il existe depuis la plus haute antiquité (jardins de Babylone). Les jardins réguliers à la française, dont Le Nôtre a fourni les plus beaux spécimens, en sont une illustration parfaite. Les lignes droites et les perspectives mettent en valeur les bâtiments. Les axes qui se déroulent jusqu'à l'horizon donnent une idée d'infini. Le tracé régulier et les plantes soigneusement taillées expriment l'ordre et la raison.
