Avoid waterlogging - create a pond

Anonim

Not every soil is the same in every garden. There are soils that become waterlogged when it rains heavily. Find out here how you can avoid such waterlogging.

Avoid waterlogging
Waterlogging means that the water cannot drain away due to a barrier layer in the ground and puddles form on the surface as a result. This is of course not very good for many plants, although there are flowers that like it. There are several ways to avoid waterlogging. The most labor-intensive is probably working the soil. You should let the soil dry and then loosen it deeply. You then have to mix this loosened soil with sand and lime.

Create a pond?
Green manure is also possible. So-called legumes are planted for this purpose. These are plants that automatically loosen the soil. These include, for example, lupins, peas and also beans. The plants accumulate nitrogen in the soil through their roots, which loosens it. A third option is to accept the extreme circumstances and use them sensibly. For example, you can create a small pond in places where the water is constantly forming puddles anyway. ?
