Avoid waterlogging - Create a pond

Just lay down a small pond

Not every floor is the same in every garden. There are soils that form waterlogging in heavy rainfall. Find out here how to avoid such waterlogging.

Avoiding

waterlogging Waterlogging means that the water can not flow away due to a barrier layer in the soil and thus forms puddles on the surface. Of course, this is not very good for many plants, although there are flowers that like it. To avoid waterlogging, there are several possibilities. The most labor intensive is probably to work the soil. You should let the soil dry and then loosen deep. You must then mix this loosened soil with sand and lime.

Create pond?

Green manure is also possible. For this purpose so-called legumes are planted. These are plants that automatically loosen the soil. These include, for example, lupins, peas and beans. The plants enrich nitrogen in the soil through the roots, which loosens it up. A third option is to accept the extreme conditions and use them sensibly. For example, you can create a small pond in places where water is always puddling anyway.
