Rowan, Ash, Hazel, Mirabelle plum, Cherry plum, Spruce, Fir, Cedar

Sowing time: sow the seeds of trees and shrubs. Felling time: cut timber that is meant to last.

Soil

Soil building and regenerative practice

Mulchen

A thick layer of mulch on all beds – 15–20 cm of leaves, straw or shredded material. Soil should never overwinter bare. This is the most important rule for soil building.

Bodenpflege

Mark permanent beds and plan next year’s crop rotation. Where were the heavy feeders? Next year medium feeders or green manure go there.

Klimaresilienz

Leave piles of deadwood and leaves in corners of the garden – important winter quarters for beneficials such as hedgehogs, ground beetles and wild bees.
