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 spoon herb is a very old perennial crop, culinary and medicinal herb that has almost been forgotten today and was previously very much appreciated by seafarers in the Middle Ages. On the Atlantic coasts of the Northern Hemisphere, this frost-solid species is native and grows wild in saline and moist locations. The enormously vitamin-rich species forms rounded to heart-shaped leaves and grows from a loose rosette. The taste of the cress-like leaves is spicy and spicy and can be harvested into the winter.

Spoonweed plants prefer a sunny to semi-shaded location with a moist, slightly sandy or stony and humus-rich soil. Also tolerates saline soils. Avoid waterlogging.

Additional tips
The richer the humus the soil, the more lush the spoonwort will grow. For a long harvest period, harvest 1/4 of the leaves from the outside to the inside, taking care not to damage the heart to keep growth stable. In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and well-drained soil, an additional incorporation of biochar and primeval rock flour is recommended.
