Basic princibles of organic farming
Use of ecologically produced seeds and seedlings
No use of pickling agents
Nitrogen fertilization only with organic substances
Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium if necessary with
mineral substancen
Legumes as catch crops
No sythetic pesticides to control pests, diseases and
weeds
Targed crop rotation to preserve fertility and soil health

«ferztilize the soil, not the plant!»

Soil is a productive Ökosystem
Soil organisms are releasing nutrients from earth, air nitrogen and
organic matter
Adventage of organic fertilizer
Nutrients in good balance
Less plant parasites(because of less
nitrogen in the plants)
Less energy needed for
manufactoring mineral fertilizer
Nutrient pool in

„Humus has a high water holding capacity;
Humus can store 3 to 5 times of his own weight
The organic matter has through its aggregating effects a direct influence
on the pore size distribution and the water balance. In sandy soils the
humus is determining the water holding capacity.“

Schönebeck
• The basis for life and a habitat for people,
animals, plants and soil organisms
• A part of natural system, especially by
means of its water and nutrient cycles
• A medium for decomposition, balance
and restoration as a result of its filtering,
buffering and substance-converting
properties, and especially groundwater
protection
