+ | The central elements in our garden are three low trees: | ||
+ | an Apple tree, a Mulberry and an Elderberry. Those three trees do tolerate each other very well. The idea is to make a guild or community around each tree and over time these guilds can slowly blend into each other. Other possible trees are for a central elemaent can be for instance: pear, cherry, plum... | ||

- | A special mixture for the groundcovering for under fruittrees is known in Germany under the name "Wolff Mischung" | + | and its standing close to an **Elderberry** - Vlier- Sambucus (L.) which is standing on the ground of the neighbours. The both can stand each other very well. Onder the elderberry we digged a big hole to put the dead old tree (branches) under and covered it with eart. In this way tress can slowly over years compost under the ground. And when it rains it can absorb huge amounts of water; so in this way it can serve a reservoir. And so onder the elderberry and on top op the burried wood is our compost heap as it assists in breakdown soil. Elderberry is a natural Antiseptic, the leaves encourage compost fermentation and makes excellent topsoil. The flowers are very attractive to insects and the fruit is very attractive to birds – pigeons hang upside down in autumn to pick the berrys. It’s a general insecticide, |
