Soil

Soil building and regenerative practice

Compost

Turn compost windrows – mix and aerate them in open weather. Mature compost smells of forest floor.

Bodenpflege

Draw up a growing plan with crop rotation: heavy feeders → medium feeders → light feeders → green manure. This keeps the soil fertile in the long term.

Klimaresilienz

Seed planning: open-pollinated, regional varieties are often more resistant to local climate and disease conditions.
