Discover the magic of Europe's thriving vineyards in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where nature's bounty is harnessed through the use of green manure. Lacy Phacelia, or Phacelia tanacetifolia, blankets the vineyard floor, preparing the soil for the next harvest. Meanwhile, winter oilseed rape plants lie dormant, their frost-resistant roots enhancing the biological activity of the soil. As the seasons change, Common Comfrey, in its purple form, emerges as another essential green manure, adding rich organic matter and nutrients to the earth. Symphytum x uplandicum, also known as comfrey, completes the cycle, offering yet another source of organic fertiliser for the vineyard's continued prosperity.
