Land that was drained, and still needs draining
This plain was made usable by cutting channels through it, and the water table underneath is still high. Garden ground here can be dry in August and saturated in December, which is the hardest combination to plant for and the reason drainage comes before planting on most projects.
The soil itself is a deep sandy loam, some of the best on the island for growing, which is why the potato fields are here. It rewards a kitchen garden more than almost anywhere else.
It is inland enough to escape salt spray, though the groundwater near s’Albufera can carry salt, and winter nights on the open plain are cold.
What gardens in Sa Pobla usually need
- Drainage designed for a high winter water table
- Raised beds where ground sits wet
- Kitchen garden beds on the good loam
- Irrigation from wells rather than mains
- Windbreak planting on open farmland
- Frost aware species for cold inland nights
- Water tested for salinity near the wetland
- Seasonal management on larger parcels
Most requested here
Why is my ground wet all winter and dry all summer?
A high water table with a fast draining topsoil above it. Raised beds and drainage handle the wet, mulch handles the dry.
Is the well water salty?
Nearer the wetland it can be. A test before planting anything sensitive is worth the small cost.
Can I grow vegetables all year?
This is one of the better places on the island to try, with shade and water through the hottest weeks.
