Tips to reduce water use
Tips to reduce water use
We recommend mulching the beds.
Experience has shown that covering the ground with hay or straw can reduce evaporation by 80%. Keeping the beds evenly moist will create an optimal moist microclimate under the mulch. This not only helps the plants to grow, but also reduces the water consumption enormously. On our farm we only water every 2-3 days and irrigate a 200 m2 cultivation area in the Algarve in Portugal with 500l of water. Our beds are always moist, which promotes plant growth and crop quality.
It is also advisable to keep the beds moist at all times.
Even if the bed is not used for a certain period of time. Drying out the soil causes a huge reduction in the micro- and macro-organisms in the soil, resulting in an infertile soil.
Tests have shown that the addition of water to the entire bed is lower over a longer period of time than if it is only poured selectively. Due to the small volume of the poured areas, as opposed to the large dry volume, they dry out faster than if the entire volume of the bed were filled with moisture.
Similar to heating in an apartment.
Maintaining an energy level always requires less energy than having to reach this level again and again.

The Chinese cabbage garnet is an old, annual, medium-early cabbage variety from China. The variety was bred during the Second World War. It has long, slender and closed heads and a strong, aromatic taste with a good consistency and firm leaves, making it particularly suitable for steaming and wok. Chinese cabbage is winter-hardy in mild climates, but in cooler areas the variety requires light winter protection. Not suitable for storage.

In areas with persistently high temperatures, Chinese cabbage is sown in autumn when temperatures drop from September to October or in spring from January. In northern, cooler areas, sowing takes place in the summer from June to July.
Pre-cultivation with planting out as a seedling makes sense.
This variety prefers a partially shaded to sunny location with sufficient water and nutrient-rich soil.
