Speaking of shade: Did you know that our coffee grows under so-called shade trees? Depending on the location and the farmer, these are casuarinas, yam trees, bananas, papayas, etc., which are usually grown in small coffee gardens with 10-30 bushes. The great thing about them is: There is a great diversity of species, additional food for the farmers, the soils are healthy and thus, much less water is used. In the blog post with the short clip <em>&#8220;Saving water with coffee?&#8221;<\/em> we explain how exactly this works.

If you water them a just little every day, the roots will spread rather superficially, and the plants will get stressed as soon as they do not get the usual amount of water. So, it is better to water less often, but with more water. The recommendation: 20 liters of water per square meter*. The water trickles deeper, the plant\u2019s roots follow and can also supply themselves with water there. By the way, the right time to water is early in the morning. Then the soil is coolest, and evaporation is lowest. So, it&#8217;s like an early morning coffee for your flowers and herbs. And another tip: Water your plants as close to the ground as possible, this also reduces evaporation, and the water arrives where it is supposed to.<\/p><p>If you would like to know more: In the article <em><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mounthagen.de\/en\/mount-hagen-and\/greenlifestyle\/the-courage-to-be-chaotic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThe courage to be chaotic&#8221;<\/a><\/em> on our website you will find additional tips on biodiversity, seeds, and garden soil.<\/p><p><em><strong>Happy gardening.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><em>Source:<\/em><br \/><em><a href=\"http:\/\/*https:\/\/utopia.de\/ratgeber\/welche-pflanzen-vertragen-trockenheit-und-hitze-am-besten\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">www.utopia.de\/ratgeber\/welche-pflanzen-vertragen-trockenheit-und-hitze-am-besten\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-566d6ee\" data-id=\"566d6ee\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b><I>By the time we hit the 90 degrees mark this summer, hobby gardeners and balcony flower lovers started asking themselves: Am I still allowed to water?<\/I><\/b> And which plants can really cope best with this heat and dryness?
