Soil

Soil building and regenerative practice

Bodenpflege

Do a spade test as soon as the soil is frost-free: what does the crumb structure look like? Good crumbs = active soil life.

Compost

Spread mature compost on the beds – the soil can take up the nutrients well now, before the growing season starts.

Klimaresilienz

Buy peat-free compost! “Organic” and “reduced peat” do not mean peat-free – read the small print. Peatlands store twice as much CO₂ as all forests combined.
