Working with the preparations in May — new growth and the last spring recovery
Horn manure and horn silica for every new growth, valerian as frost protection before the Ice Saints — and the last preparations are taken out of the spring soil.
May is a month of growth. On grassland and in the garden, horn manure (500) and horn silica (501) alternate with every new growth — soil and light in rhythm. At the same time the spring making cycle comes to an end: whatever is still in the ground is now taken out, and the yarrow goes into the stag's bladder.
Until mid-May, late frost remains an issue. Before the Ice Saints, the valerian preparation (507) protects flowers and sensitive crops.
Grassland and arable
- Grassland: horn manure and horn silica for every new growth.
- Cereals: horn silica from the three-leaf stage and at shooting; horsetail preparation (508) when fungal pressure is high.
Vegetable garden
- Horn manure at tillage, sowing and planting.
- Horn silica at leaf formation and fruit set.
Vines and fruit
- Vines: valerian as frost protection before the Ice Saints.
- Fruit: horn silica after flowering; valerian as frost protection.
Making the preparations
- Last spring recovery: take horn manure (500), yarrow (502), chamomile (503), oak bark (505) and dandelion (506) out of the ground.
- Yarrow (502): fill into the stag's bladder and hang up in a sunny spot.
- Chamomile flowers: collect and dry.
