Pota pyramid: Gardening and harvesting together for all generations!

The "This is how Lower Austria" initiative emphasizes the joy of gardening with the project of the potato pyramid, which invites both schools and communities and families to participate. This innovative method allows you to grow fresh potatoes on just one square meter at the same time. "The potato pyramid promotes the community, because here for young and old can tackle and experience how nature works," explains the governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner. Each interested team can request a free start package for the construction of the pyramid that has already been sent over 5,000 times, as ots.at

diverse advantages and simple participation

The potato pyramid not only offers a space -saving cultivation of potatoes, but also an educational experience that is particularly enthusiastic. The popular project makes it possible to observe the entire life cycle of the potatoes and deepen the knowledge of healthy food. With a start package, participants not only receive seed potatoes, but also building instructions and useful tips for a successful harvest. For children and adults alike, it is an invitation to spend more time together and to develop an awareness of the environment, such as soschmeckennoe.at explained.

The structure of the pyramids is very simple: several wooden frames are stacked on top of each other, filled with earth and then planted. The advantages of this construction extend from comfortable harvests to better moisture storage. Until mid -April, participants can register for the free starting packages that contain everything necessary for the cultivation. In addition, there are also vouchers worth 50 euros in honor of the ten -year anniversary of the project. This enlivens the community and motivates to participate in sustainable agriculture that is more than just a hobby - it is a way of life.
