I bought a Moringa tree from the weekly market for five euros, I always want to have this tree in my garden due to its countless of benefits, although the bottom side looks in bad shape from being setting at the nursery, it seems to be growing nicely on the top, I will have to choose the right spot in the garden for it.

Ich habe 2 Jahre lang immer wieder versucht,einen moringa Baum aus Samen zu ziehen. Das Keimen hat immer super geklappt. Als er dann 10-15 cm groß war,ging er ein. Ich hoffe,das du mehr Erfolg hast. 🍀
Did you use well drained sandy soil? As far as I know the roots don't like to be wet for too long, this tree absorb and store the water in the roots and trunk and can withstand dry conditions, this is my first time keeping it will see how it goes.
I forgot to mention the cold weather factor, they go dormant around 5° C and die at freezing temperatures, I am sure there are some methods to keep them alive in cold climate, like extensive mulching, growing them in containers and bringing them indoor when freezing.
I found a spot for it in the garden, a while ago I was given a free dozen of yellow plum branches with some roots in them, some of them didn't survive so I used one of them as a support for the moringa tree, we do get strong wind sometimes, pictures below for the Moringa tree new home.
Das grüne rechts sind deine Ackerbohnen? Die wachsen auch gut!
Yes they are Fava beans, they are growing steadily despite the bad soil condition, I think adding goats manure helped a lot.
Bohnen machen doch eigenen Stickstoff, drswegen sind sie ja so gut für den Boden. Das Wasser hilft ihnen bestimmt auch.
:-D
That is correct, but I planted some Fava beans in another place without adding goat manure, they are about five times smaller in size. The goat manure contains leftover hay, alfalfa and spilled feed. I am just experimenting few things, so if things doesn't go right, we go left 😄
