We present to our readers an unusual edition. Its authors not only urge owners of summer cottages and gardens to give up exhausting labor, but also tell how this can be done using a system of regenerative agriculture. The book contains controversial (or simply unusual) arguments and recommendations on the most pressing issues. Not everything can be accepted at once, but the authors cannot be denied one thing: they can speak so convincingly only about what they themselves have felt. The authors pose the questions: Is plowing really necessary? Are there any benefits to fertilizers? Are weeds always the enemy? Professing the principle “Nature is ruled by those who follow its rules” (R. Bacon), the authors address their book to both novice gardeners and those who have worn out more than one pair of shoes in their garden beds.

Generally accepted techniques in the near future considerations are wasteful, do not spare the strength, health, or time of gardeners, and do not save resources. They have been formed over the years and have become familiar and routine. The authors show what benefits can come from abandoning these techniques and replacing them with others that go back to a regenerative farming system. The book will be useful for both beginning gardeners and those who have worn out more than one pair of shoes in their garden beds. True, it will be more difficult for “veterans” to accept the authors’ reasoning - to do this, they will need not only to revise their accumulated knowledge, but also to step over the “that’s how grandma was timid.” Essentially, this book is a collection of 50 essays on the topic of gardening. Each of them has controversial (perhaps simply unusual) moments; not everything can be accepted at once, but the authors cannot be denied one thing: so contagiously, inspiredly, convincingly one can only speak about what one has felt. At the same time, they do not impose on the reader their seemingly paradoxical opinion, but invite them to take a closer look, compare, and think.

In this book about gardening, the authors show how the regenerative farming system is more convenient than those land cultivation methods that have been formed over the years and have become habitual and routine for many vegetable growers. The authors not only urge owners of summer cottages and vegetable gardens to give up exhausting work, but also tell how this can be done using a system of regenerative agriculture.
