Garden Teachers Sincere
Peonies are very tough plants. I remember the first advice I got (and shared) about moving them: “Dig up the rootball being careful to minimize root disturbance.” Egads, I said when first trying to move a long-established one, discovering it had a VERY deep root system. Short of using a back hoe, there was no way I could get it all. gartenlehrer All you really need is the crown and some of the roots. Just cut off the roots you can’t dig out. Wash the soil away to get a better view of the eyes. You can divide it into as many pieces as you want provided each piece has at least five eyes. I’ve also discovered that those roots still in the ground can grow back, so don’t be surprised if the original plant comes back. But this does not result in a lack of space, because the predominantly female new members of the school community are satisfied with a "classroom" with an edge length of 50 centimeters: That's about the size of the beehive that the Griesheim beekeepers Roswitha and Bernhard Walz set up in the school garden of the Waldbach School . A gentle colony Walz has selected a "gentle" colony that can be observed through an acrylic glass cover while building comb, caring for the brood and producing honey. The children of the Waldbach-Garten-AG should now keep a record of the weather and the respective flowering plants. This data is compared to the increase in weight of the hive, which is determined by a cleverly built-in scale. In addition, the courageous school gardeners get to know the essential work of a beekeeping in a very practical way. And they learn to marvel: marvel at a small insect that, as a pollinator, contributes to the food supply of mankind. "Anyone who observes bees learns to respect nature," agree Roswitha Walz and garden teacher Stefan Böhm. The honey and wax from our own "harvest" is available at the Advent bazaar of the Waldbach School.Offenburg (red/pie). Shortly before the Easter holidays, the Waldbach special needs school grew by 10,000 school members.
