I wouldn't do it on the west and north sides, since the strip is splash protection and otherwise the facade would get dirty quickly.

We planted all free sides around the office. The building has a flat roof, so no roof overhang. But it is covered with brick veneer.
Witt also has various examples of normal plaster and wooden facades (see photo and many more pages), also with nutrient-rich substrates

I wouldn't like the visible stud foil. Otherwise, I can imagine it is feasible with the grasses, they also provide protection; the rain doesn't splash on the bare soil.

Here we are again. Last week we were at the house from Wednesday to Sunday, continued insulating the roof,

For only 46 € plus 35 € for the trailer (and some gas) we were able to get rid of all our waste for now.

Tomorrow our scaffolding will be taken down, we have never seen the house without it! I am very excited.

Which book is that? Which one of his can you recommend as well?

Which book is that? Which of his would you still recommend?

This is from the natural gardening book. It has 2 volumes. If you have never heard of Reinhard Witt, start with "Nature for Every Garden," which is basically the foundation. For everyone who then gets hooked, there are the 2 volumes of Natural Gardening that explain the technical aspects: soils, building materials, wall construction, pathways, etc., and "Sustainable Plantings and Seedings," which concern the plants. The books are not cheap but definitely worth quite a lot if you have a passion for nature. But beware, afterwards you will see gardens, green strips, etc., in a completely different way. By the way, I was introduced to them by , and after that I practically devoured the books. My approach is also more lazy gardening (whether that really works out?) and not so much species protection in my own garden. I gladly take that as a side effect; when climbing and mountaineering, we also spend quite a lot of time in nature (although currently with a small child somewhat less extreme than before ;) ).

Which book is that? Which of his can you still recommend?

I also googled him and his books, lectures, etc. right away yesterday and will deal more intensively with his suggestions. @Wilder Sueden: Thanks for the recommendation. :)

The books are not exactly cheap but definitely worth a lot if you have a passion for nature.

This, on the other hand, I would call an understatement. ;-) Yesterday, while researching, I first stumbled upon "Der Naturgarten ... Used - Hardcover Condition: good EUR 118.90 ...", but there are cheaper alternatives by him. :)

The book "Nature for Every Garden" has appeared in four editions so far. Can you particularly recommend one or from which edition is your book? (I ask because the latest edition of books, except for scientific works, is not always better than previous editions.) And no, I don’t want to find out how old you are with this question? ;-)
