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.

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)

DEF

A person employed to tend, cultivate, or lay out a garden.

CONT

Gardeners with experience should cope with all the tasks needed to keep a garden under control – including weeding, grass cutting, strimming, pruning, planting, mulching, feeding, spraying and lawn care – and know when to do them. A top-notch gardener will be able to help you plan your garden, suggest and source plants and even mentor you, if you want to learn more. You shouldn’t expect a gardener to do the jobs that a landscaper would do, such as lay a patio, build a wall or put up a garden building.

Record 6 1999-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Correct planting technique begins with the loading of the plant at the nursery or garden center. Home gardeners and landscapers should be very careful with plant material. Always protect the roots, stems and foliage during transport... If plants must be held or stored on the landscape site, it is best to place them in a location protected from the wind and sun.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
CONT

Relief. Le jardinier, quand il en a la possibilité, doit choisir un terrain au relief aussi peu accidenté que possible. La présence de monticules ou de saillies rend les travaux difficiles et entraîne souvent une opération de nivellement (onéreuse). Dans le cadre d'un terrain paysager, il est bon toutefois de ne pas conserver des surfaces trop planes : de légères déclivités donnent une certaine douceur à un ensemble.

Record 8 1999-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

It's a good idea to prepare your garden soil a couple of weeks ahead of planting, too. Tilling the soil early will fool weeds into germinating early, and you can then pull them to reduce competition with your seedlings. When there is no longer any risk of frost, take the seedlings out of the pots and plant them into the garden. Water regularly(but don’t over water) and feed with a high quality fertilizer like PINK Vigoro or Instant Vigoro Water Soluble Plant Starter 10-52-10.

CONT

It’s time to repot when you notice either of the following conditions: your plant needs water daily because it won’t hold any moisture or large roots are pushing through the drain hole. In both cases the root system has grown so big that very little soil is left in the pot. Find a slightly larger container, and transplant using good quality soil. To avoid or minimize transplant shock handle the roots gently and water well after repotting. A good plant starter fertilizer like 10-52-10 will help encourage root growth.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumure et amélioration du sol
