What is living water and how does it work
- The farmers use water structuring balls to restore ‘structure’ to the water, making it better able to irrigate the deep soil layers.
- The orchard is watered with both rainwater and this live water. This gives the roots a chance to go deeper and the trees can withstand droughts better.
Effects that can be seen (and felt)
- Apple trees fruit more abundantly and tastier. Single variety juices – pure flavours, no blending.
- The appearance of the strawberries between the trees is proof that the orchard is alive, that the soil has potential.
- There are bees – a sign that there is little or no chemistry. Naturalness in practice, not declarations.
Backstage
- The orchard has about 25 ha of apple trees (14 varieties) and 5 ha of cherry trees, the oldest apple trees being over 40 years old.
- The project requires patience – the reorganisation and adaptation work is ongoing, and it will take several years to fully see the results.
