Good soil, high water table, salt at the edges
The farmland here is some of the most productive on the island, sandy loam worked for vegetables for generations and served by wells. For a garden that is a gift, provided the drainage is understood, because the water table is high and winter can leave ground saturated.
Closer to s’Albufera and the coast the groundwater turns brackish, and planting has to allow for it. The symptom is the familiar one of leaf burn on plants that are being watered generously.
The village itself gardens as courtyards and container terraces, shaded and enclosed, with access through the house.
What gardens in Muro usually need
- Drainage on ground with a high water table
- Salt tolerant planting near the wetland and coast
- Irrigation drawn from wells rather than mains
- Courtyard and container schemes in the village
- Holiday letting maintenance near Playa de Muro
- Windbreaks on open farmland
- Species chosen for wet winters and dry summers
- Kitchen garden beds on the good loam
Most requested here
Is the water table really that high?
Near the wetland and the coast, yes. It affects both drainage and what can be planted deeply.
Can I grow vegetables here?
This is some of the best ground on the island for it, which is why the market gardens are here.
Does salt reach inland?
In the groundwater near the marsh it can. A water test is worth doing before planting anything sensitive.
