Karim YABRÉ loves plants. He loves them so much that, despite the limited space in his home, he has managed to create a space entirely dedicated to his plants.
His fragile state of health meant that he had to spend long periods in hospital. But now that his vegetable garden has been extended, he can eat what he grows. No more hospital stays. His vegetable garden allows him to control the quality of what he eats, but also to preserve his health.
This gardening enthusiast enjoys very good relations with his neighbours. Although he lives in a shared courtyard, gardening is not a problem for his neighbours.

00:00He lives in a commune where space is a rare treasure.
00:04But his passion for gardening has motivated him to find tips to develop his garden.
00:11Here, every available piece of space is wisely exploited to grow vegetables and aromatic plants.
00:18Hello to all gardening enthusiasts, you are watching Mervet.
00:23Today we will show you the garden of this plant enthusiast
00:28for whom the narrowness of space is by no means an obstacle for home gardening.
00:48Good evening, Mr. Hervé.
00:52Welcome.
00:53Thank you. How are you?
00:54I'm fine. And you?
00:56I'm fine, thank you.
00:58We came to visit you.
01:00Thank you and we are happy to receive you.
01:02Thank you.
01:03This is a pot of oregano.
01:06It is a spice that we use to marinate fish and meat.
01:11It is also dried, reduced in powder, to be sprinkled on the table, as used directly in the sauce.
01:18Here is a zucchini that is blooming.
01:22This is its second cycle of production.
01:25Now, this is an experiment that I am carrying out.
01:29The idea is to end up on a scale of 4 to 5 years with a variety of zucchini
01:35that can support a maximum of 2 watering per month.
01:39So at this stage, this foot can support 1 watering per week.
01:46Currently we are in the 6th month.
01:50Soil
01:54Soil fights against digestive disorders.
01:58We also use it to lower blood pressure.
02:01And often with the question of breathing, it causes pain in the mother.
02:06We boil it to drink.
02:08This is the most precious plant in the garden, the laurel.
02:13I think the foot costs 50,000 francs.
02:19Plant
02:22These plants are a bit like the mothers of the family.
02:26As you can see, I consumed mint yesterday, but I went to buy it.
02:31Because I didn't want to cut my mints.
02:33Plants mean a lot to me.
02:36So often when I go home, I take a chair, I sit in front of me and I observe.
02:41There are plants that even have names.
02:43The zucchini that you see up there is called roquilla.
02:46That's its name.
02:47Each plant has a name, but also a link with other people who do gardening at home.
02:52I am a very fragile person.
02:55Every year I go back to the hospital for more than a month.
03:00But in 2021, when I expanded my variety field,
03:06to be able to harvest directly and go to the kitchen.
03:09From 2021 to today, I have never been hospitalized.
03:12Beyond the pleasure of having a garden that you maintain, you preserve your health.
03:17I have already lost plants that were burned.
03:21Because of the inappropriate use of smoke, of flies.
03:26It was shocking, I didn't eat, I didn't even take a shower that day.
03:37For the neighbors, there is no problem, they even contribute.
03:40Sometimes when I travel, the neighbors take care of the plants.
03:44Now in terms of space, there is never a reduced space for outdoor gardening.
03:51This can be the only conflict with this type of gardening.
03:55Maybe when the water is completely covered and there is no light.
03:59But otherwise, whatever the space, you can cultivate a lot of things.
04:04If you take where I put the zucchini, if it's on the pipe, you can place 12 plants.
04:10I encourage people who want to do gardening and still hesitate to do it.
04:18Because at some point it will be exciting, even if they have trouble stopping.
04:23Those who don't necessarily want to do it, we encourage them to try.
04:28Life will settle in time.
04:30Because it has many advantages in terms of cost, in terms of economy.
04:35Because there is what you want to consume at your doorstep.
04:38At any time you can decide to change recipes without having to go to the market.
04:42That's all for this episode of Mervet.
04:45We had the pleasure of exploring the home-grown garden of Karim Yabri.
04:51Despite the strictness of space, this plant enthusiast grows various vegetables.
04:57This allows him to have quality food on his plate at a low cost.
