A Warm Welcome for the Water
Hello! I am Jakko, in my thirties with a passion for gardening and do-it-yourself projects. In our changing world, true climate change influences our daily lives, even the plants in our garden grow into silent protesters. How can we make our garden resilient, both against mostly as drought? Let’s discover how together!
The Art of Drenage
A well designed one drenagesysteem is like a warm embrace that gently sends water to the right place. Consider drainage trenches, drainage channels and infiltration wells. These systems help move water away from sensitive areas, protect plant roots from suffocation and prevent soil erosion.
Nourishing the Soil with Love
Soil is the heart of every garden. By adding organic matter such as compost and manure, we enrich the soil, allowing it to retain water better without compacting. In this way we improve drainage in heavier soils and create a comfortable environment for the roots of plants.
Hold Water Like a Pro
During dry periods, every drop of water is precious. Rainwater collection is an ancient and wise practice. Rainwater tanks and collection barrels can be integrated into the garden, not only as useful, but also as decorative elements.
Plants That Love The Sun
The choice of plants is crucial for a garden that can withstand both torrential rain and drought. Native plantsadapted to the local climate, are often the best choice. Xerophytic plantssuch as lavender, rosemary and succulents, thrive in little moisture and embrace the sun confidently.
Mulching: A Protective Blanket
Mulch acts as a protective blanket for the garden, maintaining the moisture of the soil and protecting it from evaporation. A layer of organic mulch such as tree bark, straw or dry leaves not only helps keep the soil cool and moist, but also nourishes the plants with essential nutrients as it breaks down.
Play as an Escape Room in Your Garden!
Nature is surprising in its unpredictability. Every day we feel like we are in an escape room, adapting to new scenarios in our garden. After torrential rains, summer can quickly turn your garden into a thirsty desert. By caring for your garden carefully and lovingly, you create an oasis that not only celebrates beauty, but also teaches the art of resilience.
Regularly Monitor and Adjust
The real secret of a resilient garden lies in the ability to balance opposites and turn challenges into opportunities. Regular monitoring of the garden, including inspecting plants and the soil, ensures that we can intervene quickly and prevent problems before they become insurmountable.
Working together with Nature
With care, love and wisdom, the gardener can create an oasis that blooms in harmony with nature. This delicate balance between torrential rains and summer drought makes the garden not only a haven of beauty, but also a master of resilience. Let us free our gardens from the shackles of aesthetic standards and let them live in harmony with us.
