Tips to reduce water requirements

We recommend mulching the beds
Experience has shown that by covering the ground, e.g. with Hay or straw, which can reduce evaporation by 80%. If you keep the beds evenly moist, an optimal moist microclimate will be created under the mulch. This not only promotes the growth of the plants, but also reduces water consumption enormously.

It is also recommended to always keep the beds moist , even if the bed is not used for a certain period of time
The drying out of the soil leads to a huge decline in the micro- and macro-organisms in the soil, which over time leads to an infertile soil . Tests have shown that the water content in the entire bed remains longer when the entire bed is watered over a longer period of time than when it is only watered selectively. Due to the small volume of the poured areas in contrast to the large dry volume, they dry out more quickly than if the entire volume of the bed is filled with moisture. Similar to heating in an apartment.

If the beds are not in use, we recommend sowing with green manure.

Maintaining an energy level always requires less energy than having to reach it again and again.

The Siberian motherwort is a biennial, very old Chinese tea, incense and medicinal plant from Malaysia. The species occurs wild in Brazil and Mexico and develops purple flowers. In Chinese medicine, the herb is praised as a very good remedy for menstrual problems and also has a general strengthening effect and was also mentioned as “t'uei” in the ancient Chinese “Book of Songs” (approx. 1000-500 BC). In Malaysia, too, the dried plant is ceremoniously smoked in ceremonies and smoked as a herbal cigarette. It can be used externally for rheumatic complaints, eczema and abscesses. The plants magically attract bumblebees.
