Sepp Holzer: Like in the harsh climate to grow heat-loving plants and fruit trees

1. Do not allow the morning sunlight: the coldest point during the day coming shortly before the appearance of the first sunlight. When the sun shines on plants sensitive to frost, their flowers and tender shoots burst sitovidnye tubes. Since the melting of the ice is once again expanding. Example: if you freeze in the freezer the water in the glass, at first nothing will happen. And if you remove it from the refrigerator and leave it warm, the glass will burst. However, if you put a glass in the freezer so that the water has thawed slowly, she melted, but the glass will remain intact. The same process happens with the plants. If they will be protected from the rays of the morning sun until, until the air warms up to flowers and shoots was able to slowly thaw, then plant almost does not suffer from frost. It is important to protect frost-susceptible plants from the morning sun or due to the fact that they will have something planted or by planting on the West side of the house, not to the East.

2. Lay the natural water bodies type of water storage: reflection of heat from the surface of water in a water landscape balances the differences in air temperature as the water throughout the day takes the heat, and at night again it gives. In addition, the high humidity that occurs in the water of the landscape, stimulates the development of plants and helps to equalize temperatures.

3. To use stones in the garden design: stone during the day absorbs heat and slowly releases it overnight. This can see for themselves if approached at night to the stone and put a hand on him. It will be warm, and the morning cool. Due to this effect tiled stove it has a balancing effect on whatever is nearby, and so the night frost may not cause much harm. So, I can put between the stones sensitive and heat-loving plants and thus protect them from frost.

4. To apply the method of mulching: a thick layer of straw or foliage — a good protection for the soil from freezing. Anyone who wants to save on the mulch, can sit next to frost-susceptible plants, deciduous tree. Fall foliage will fall, will cover and protect the ground from frost. Using a similar technique, I was grown we have Krameterhof even grapes and lemons. published
