Saving trees?
The linden rustles softly, warm sunshine sparkles through the leaves, filtered green. And a large café au lait. Is there a better way to start the day? What is sad though: When linden, beech, chestnut, and the like lose their leaves due to water shortage.

Little, but longer.
So, if you want to help trees to survive the summer – unfortunately, that is quite necessary especially in the cities, where the climate change is clearly noticeable – then treediaper.com is a real game changer.
The basic principle of this kind of irrigation is: Little water, but longer. And that works quite well with the dark bags that are placed around the base of the tree like a collar. The bags slowly release water over time, that can be better absorbed by the roots compared to a flush of water from the garden hose. That does not only save time, but also valuable water – in fact, quite a lot. We think that is a great idea.
