“Cleaning up” the garden – leaves and clippings

About :
Sabrina Nitsche is tidying up the cross-bed garden today. Unlike most people, she even takes clippings into the garden instead of taking them out. Read here what she plans to do with them. Branches for the Benjeshecke All branches that fall over the year go into the Benjeshecke in the cross-bed garden. A Benjeshecke is a structure made of layered dead wood and fulfils several functions: it separates individual garden areas, it provides a habitat for birds, insects and small animals, it promotes the build-up of humus in the garden and it saves time and money as you don't have to clear away and transport the clippings. Leaves for the forest perennials We don't leave the leaves lying on the paths and lawn strips, we clear them away. Otherwise the paths would become too slippery and the grass could suffocate under the weight of the leaves. The leaves are in good hands in the perennial beds in the shade garden. It protects the plants from frost if necessary, inhibits evaporation as it covers the soil, and provides nutrients for the plants. If the forest perennial beds are too full, we spread our leaves between the berry bushes and in the other perennial beds. If you have larger lawns and old trees, you probably have too much foliage to fit anywhere in the perennial beds. Alternatively, you can create a whole leaf compost and use it to make leaf mold. Leaves for vegetables We use the leaves from our fruit trees in a similar way to the shade garden to fill the beds in the vegetable garden. In combination with a layer of compost, the leaves remain in the beds, are decomposed and thus provide nutrients and soil in the raised bed. If you do this every year, you can gradually prevent your raised beds from sinking too much and save on fertilizer. However, it is better not to use tannin-containing leaves such as those from oak or walnut trees for vegetable beds. Wood chips for the paths We chop up some of our cuttings into small pieces and spread them as mulch on the paths. The advantages: your feet stay dry even when it rains, weeds are particularly easy to remove and the material is free in the garden. One disadvantage is perhaps that you have to refill the paths regularly because the wood chips weather over time. Visit us here too: Querbeet on the Internet: https://www.br.de/br-fernsehen/sendun...
