While the leaves fall and nature goes into its well-deserved dormancy, more is happening in our fields than meets the eye. The autumn months are a time of intense work – not only for us, but also for the plants and soil organisms that naturally prepare the soil.
What's happening in our fields right now?
There's a lot going on in the soil: microorganisms and soil creatures decompose organic matter, creating the foundation for fertile soil. This natural soil cultivation ensures that the fields are optimally prepared for the 2025 sowing season.
The plants also play an important role. They protect the soil from erosion, bind nutrients, and ensure good aeration. This creates an ideal basis for the next pumpkin harvest.
Our next steps for healthy soil
To ensure our soil continues to provide the best conditions for our high-quality Styrian pumpkin seed oil, we will be specifically applying nutrients in the coming weeks:
- Sulfur: An indispensable element for plant growth, which plays an important role in the formation of amino acids.
- Lime: This balances the soil's pH value, promotes soil structure, and makes nutrients more available to plants.
These measures ensure that our fields remain healthy and productive, and that we can offer you the best quality pumpkin seed oil again in 2025.
Why this work is important
Sustainable soil management is the key to high-quality products. Through targeted care, we create a balance between natural processes and modern agriculture. This keeps our soil fertile in the long term, and we can offer the best from the region year after year.
We'll keep you updated – until then, we wish you a wonderful autumn!
Autumn greetings,
The Niederl Family
