The location of willow planting
1. From the perspective of geomantic omen, willow is a shade tree, and the house facing south corresponds to five elements. House foundation soil, former Suzaku (south) Yang fire (neutralized by a pool), later Xuanwu (north) Yin water (town rock), Zuo Qinglong (east) wood (mountain creek), and right white tiger (west) gold (gold).
Therefore, as the saying goes: the front door is planted with sunshine, and wealth is not long; Planting willows in the back door will soon make a fortune. The older generation said: plant willows in front of the house and mulberry in the back. This is a symbol of the land of feng shui.
And the willow in the backyard: gathering shade, easy to become a demon, attracting peach blossoms.
Second, scientifically speaking: willow is cold-resistant and waterlogged-resistant. Drought-tolerant, like wetlands, like warm to high temperature, sunshine should be sufficient. It can absorb urban sewage, landfill leachate, industrial waste water (such as waste water from wood storage plant after spraying logs), sewage sludge, sawdust, etc. Mainly through plant absorption to reduce pollutants and excessive nutrients in water and soil.
So it grows best in the east and south. Although plants grow better near sewers or pollutants, trees will suck poison from their hearts and change their origins.
