🌱 Foundations for Farming Training – What a Beautiful Day! 🌱
Today we had the privilege of training a group of 20 people and what a joyful, practical day it was!
We covered:
• 🔥 Thermal compost
• 🪱 Vermicompost
• 🥬 The basics of vegetable gardening
• 🌽 How to start your own garden
• 📏 Correct veggie crop grouping, spacing and seasonal planting.
We also demonstrated how to make chicken manure “soup” let’s just say not everyone enjoyed the smell 😅 (but the plants definitely will!).
A big thank you to Mr. Christie, one of our Foundations for Farming trainers, for guiding the group with excellence and passion and for arranging lunch for our group 😋
Special appreciation to Green Planet Gardening, Gabi Serrer, for partnering with us on the vermicomposting session and sharing valuable knowledge about worms and soil health, such a blessing to have you part of the training.
Thank you to Sirrka, also one of our FfF trainers, for the translation.
And thank you to Wilmari Brockerhoff for all the behind-the-scenes admin and registrations that make these trainings possible.
We are grateful for every trainee who showed up ready to learn and grow. 🌾
Onward building healthy soil, healthy crops, and healthy communities.
