Tips to reduce water requirements

We recommend mulching the beds
Experience has shown that by covering the ground, e.g. with Hay or straw, which can reduce evaporation by 80%. If you keep the beds evenly moist, an optimal moist microclimate will be created under the mulch. This not only promotes the growth of the plants, but also reduces water consumption enormously.

It is also recommended to always keep the beds moist , even if the bed is not used for a certain period of time
The drying out of the soil leads to a huge decline in the micro- and macro-organisms in the soil, which over time leads to an infertile soil . Tests have shown that the water content in the entire bed remains longer when the entire bed is watered over a longer period of time than when it is only watered selectively. Due to the small volume of the poured areas in contrast to the large dry volume, they dry out more quickly than if the entire volume of the bed is filled with moisture. Similar to heating in an apartment.

If the beds are not in use, we recommend sowing with green manure.

Maintaining an energy level always requires less energy than having to reach it again and again.

The Asian mint Jing-Jie is a very ancient, perennial tea and medicinal plant from East Asia and has a long history of use in traditional Asian medicine. The medicinal plant, which has been known and used for centuries, belongs to catnip and has a slightly euphoric effect on humans as a tea drink. The plants form finely hairy, oblong-oval, velvety and lush green leaves, which have a clear but not too strong mint aroma and a fruity taste, with a low menthol content.

Moderate climate (e. g. B. Germany, Switzerland, Poland)
We recommend pre-cultivation from March in small pots.

General
No-till sown is unfavorable due to the possible drying out or carrying away of small animals such as ants. We recommend the pre-culture, sow in small pots and let the seedlings grow up to the first mint leaves. Let the seedlings grow at moderate temperatures until they are planted out as seedlings.
This mint prefers a sunny to partially shaded location with permeable, dry to moist, heavy loamy or slightly humous and mineral soil.

Additional tips
Protects vegetable plants from leaf and earth fleas. In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and well-drained soil, an additional incorporation of biochar and primeval rock flour is recommended.

Type of propagation
Spread occurs via seeds and rhizomes.

Care Plants
Pruning in summer promotes the growth of new shoots. If a natural spread is undesirable, separate the aboveground running roots in the spring with a spade. During long dry periods, it is advisable to give the plants additional water.
