A forest garden is a culture that tries to mimic natural ecosystems, such as a timber, a grove or a forest edge. Forest garden dominated by perennial (perenna) plants and is characterized by a structure in different layers, both above and below ground…continue reading.
Now it's almost exactly five weeks since I took the first set of summer cuttings and it's time for a little summary. I tried to say to put them directly in pure perlite. One half of the cuttings I put in my incubator, the other half of the pots that I pulled plastic bags over. Like me […]
Now that the memory of the miserable cold and dry spring begins to fade and the plants have finally taken off, it is a good time to take the first summer cuttings. I wrote about this topic already for a couple of years ago (where you can also find a list of plants that are suitable to take summer cuttings […]
At the beginning of this long series of water in the forest garden I promised that there would be a post about the construction of dams forward end. Much of what I have written about in previous posts was about to give a basic understanding of hydrological, so that you can find the best location for your pond. […]
At least as common as it is a bit too dry forest garden (see previous post) it is that the water table is too high for trees and shrubs will thrive properly. But what is too loud really? The rule of thumb is that the bushes would like to have 60 cm down to the highest ground water and trees want most […]
In a previous post in this series on the water in the forest garden, I described a typical case, I called typical 1, where the water is spread on the slope and the concentration of water in the ground is relatively low. Typically correctly pronounced, but there are many milder variants of this with similar problems, which also includes light slopes. […]
In the previous post we looked at the movement of water from a bird's perspective, Now is the time to check out what is happening in cross. The two perspectives you can in your head put together a three-dimensional overall image that you can use to assess the presence of water in the landscape. Someone divining you do not need. I […]
In the last post, I mentioned that the topography, Thus the terrain physical form, have a decisive impact on whether your timber garden will suffer from lack of water or if it will thrive and grow as a jungle. But first, a little more basic hydrology: All the water on our sites we do not add artificial […]
In the last post, I noted that most of Sweden's water limited in terms of plant growth. Thus, it is generally neither nutrient levels or lack of heat, but primarily the lack of water that makes our woodland gardens do not look as lush as in the example of England. In order to answer the question of how we […]
Many think it's exciting that we have erected five ponds of Putt Myra woodland garden and I often get requests via e-mail about how we did to keep the water in the ponds. Therefore, I have long planned to write a post with dammgrävartips. Actually it is very easy to build functioning ponds, men […]
Over the past four years we have built up a small nursery business for forest garden plants adjacent to Putt Myra forest garden. We have not previously done so much fuss about it, but since we released the book "Perennial vegetables: discover, Lizard, enjoy "many heard of and wonder how to get all the lovely plants […]
