Nectar-rich flowers attract bees on a field surface behind the Limbacher Gänseweiher

However, the path from concern to action and countermeasures is often very long. The Saarpfalz district with district administrator Theophil Gallo focuses on short ways and unbureaucratic solutions. For example, the area of ​​"Rural Areas and Land Management" in the district administration has for years been promoting the cultivation of flower fields in agriculture and, since last year, also in the local areas.

The idea of ​​farmer Walter Hirsch from Limbach, to invest in a novel direct sowing machine, therefore met with open ears in the Saarpfalz district. With this machine can directly into an existing catch crop, such. B. an insect-friendly flowering area, are sown. The measure was supported as part of the agricultural promotion of the district.

District Administrator Gallo inquired with Torsten Czech, head of regional development at the Saarpfalz district, about the functioning of the machine and the working results of no-till on a seven hectare flowering area between Limbach and Kirkel-Neuhäusel. The no-till machine opens a furrow in the soil and sows the flowering seed directly without any additional tillage. Farmer Hirsch, who is constantly exchanging information on the latest developments in the field of agriculture and land use at international level, informed that he is sowing a mixture of sunflower, phacelia and a wind plant. But not only theory, but also practice was announced, as Hirsch demonstrated his direct sowing machine escorted by two storks in the use of the seedling in a meadow near the goose pond.


The district administrator emphasized: "It is our goal that more of such flowering areas emerge in a circle, thus making an important contribution to biodiversity. I am therefore convinced that our money here is very well invested. "Torsten Czech referred to the additional benefits of planting flowering areas as a catch crop. So the soil structure is improved and erosion protection operated. Last but not least, the use of the controversial glyphosate can largely be dispensed with. Walter Hirsch praised the commitment of the Saarpfalz district for agriculture and wished well for the future a good cooperation. District Administrator Gallo emphasized the important role of farmers in society, the cultural landscape and the biosphere reserve and would therefore continue to work for their interests.

Indoor waterlilies, the flowers that float

As we slide towards winter, my attention is always drawn to what I can grow in the great indoors to get my gardening fix. Now, over the past few years I have been experimenting with all manner of weird and wonderful houseplants and I think I have finally managed to find one that ticks all the boxes. Introducing indoor waterlilies, undoubtedly the quirkiest and yet one of the easiest of houseplants to grow.

Now you might think growing these beauties indoors would require some kind of massive heated pond in a Victorian conservatory, but if you pick your variety right, they will fit into relatively tiny spaces. How tiny? Well I have grown ‘Helvola’, to my knowledge the very smallest commercial cultivar, in a range of containers as small as a 30cm glass fruit bowl. Its button-sized white flowers can continue for a good nine months of the year under ideal light conditions indoors in exchange for very little work, aside from the occasional water top up.

I bought my little lilies online and washed as much of the claggy, nutrient-rich mud off them as I could and then planted them directly in a range of large fruit or salad bowls and a small fish tank. I use a soil-based aquarium planting mix (available online and at aquarium shops) which helps keep the water clear, and looks more like dark ornamental pebbles than grim pond mud. I like to give the mix a good few rinses under the tap, too, to remove any fine dust and other particles. Once the water is settled I slowly top it up to give the plant a good 15cm depth for its pads to float on. Any dwarf oxygenating aquarium plants (no more than 10cm high) can be planted around your lily, too, to help keep the water clear and add more visual interest.

All you need to do now is add a light. I use one of the new ultra energy-efficient LED grow bulbs popped into a standard desk lamp. These require far less energy than normal bulbs and produce very little heat. The combination between lamp, water and greenery makes striking living ornaments on my dining table and book shelves that require very little extra effort. Aside from flicking the lamp on each morning (you could of course get a cheap plug-in timer to not need to bother) and keeping the water level topped up, the only other thing I do is add a drop of aquarium plant fertiliser once every couple of weeks in the spring and summer.

In the Garden: Dead flowers can be feast for the birds this winter

After such a hot, dry and smoky summer, I can’t blame you for wanting to clean up your yard and move on to other things. But before you get started, I have a request: leave something for the birds to eat this winter.

A few years ago, fall came much earlier than usual. I ended up skipping my yard clean-up and figured I’d catch up in the spring. I’ve heard some gardeners do this on a regular basis but have to admit I was worried about feeling overwhelmed by the time spring arrived.

Every time I looked out a window that fall and winter, I was met with views of untidy flower beds that gave testimony to the “lazy gardener” indoors. Were neighbors and other passersby judging my gardening abilities, I wondered?

One wintry day, something wonderful happened. As I glanced out the window, a slight movement caught my eye. To my delight, I saw a goldfinch perched on the top of a black-eyed Susan seedhead, nibbling away. At one point, it had one foot on one spent flower, the other foot on a second, and was precariously close to doing the splits.
