Chessboard patternWith regard to sowing the wild bee pasture, we consciously deviated from the classical method. We did not plant the seeds as the usual mixture, but separated the individual plant species. In this way, only one plant type was intended for each square of the chessboard. By separating the species, we wanted to achieve that the respective flowering periods and colours are perceived separately and the bloom visitation, which is different depending upon the species of bee as well as plant type, can be recognized more simply. With a mixed seeding, one would have obtained an optically very attractive field, which would have however lacked the didactical component. By making this separation, one can observe more clearly how the area changes over the course of the year, as different plants flower according to the season, and equally the same plants do not flower every month. With the practical implementation and the preparation of a planting plan, we had to adapt the outside dimensions of the area available to us for the wild bee pasture as well as the available financial resources and the plant seed, which can be acquired via the specialist trade. For planting, we calculated 68 single squares. These were then filled with plant species according to the following system: In order to increase the flowering quantity in the marginal months, we reserved more squares for species which flower at these times than for species which bloom only in the main season: In order to achieve optical colour balance, we reserved additional squares for species with blue and yellow flowering colours. After the number of squares was fixed for each species to be planted, we distributed the plants on the chessboard. We thereby produced a certain order, in order to make the area more "readable”. In addition, we distributed the plant species according to the month they start blooming from left to right - and also so that lower standing plants tended to be sown more to the front. We achieved using this method of distribution that one is not only able to recognize individual species, but also a flowering sequence, which moves from left to right across the wild bee pasture.
SchachbrettmusterBei der Ansaht der Wildbienenweide wichen wir bewusst von der klassischen Methode ab. Wir brachten die Samen nicht wie üblich als Mischung aus, sondern trennten die einzelnen Pflanzenarten voneinander. So war für jedes Quadrat des Schachbretts eine einzige Pflanzenart vorgesehen. Mit der Trennung der Arten wollen wir erreichen, dass man die jeweiligen Blühlängen und - Farben getrennt wahrnehmen und den Blütenbesuch, der je nach Bienenart sowie Pflanzenart unterschiedlich ist, einfach erkennen kann. Bei einer Mischsaat hätte man zwar ein optisch sehr ansprechendes Feld bekommen, die didaktische Komponente wäre aber wegfallen. Durch die Trennung kann man deutlich besser beobachten, wie sich die Fläche im Jahresverlauf verändert, denn zu jeder Jahreszeit blühen andere Pflanzen und nicht in jedem Monat blüht gleich viel. - |
