Schweitzer Klassifikation
Alessandro Vitale, also known as Spicy Moustache, began gardening when he was a kid with his grandfather, who taught him everything he knew about gardening and the "living soil" surrounding us. When Alessandro moved to London, he felt passionately that he wanted to get back in touch with that living soil, and find an area where soil and living creatures could coexist again. He shares his adventures in his small London garden on his YouTube channel The Spicy Moustache, where he helps others to reestablish their missing link with nature through urban gardening. He specialises in all-organic techniques, Korean JADAM gardening and sustainability. He has been featured on Tamron Hall TV show in the US, The Guardian, Walesonline, Get.waste.ed, Goodnewsnetwork and Ladbible.
