Mulching helps in maintaining moisture with then soil and the more time they cover soil,they rote and create humas that adds fertility to the soil.
And that is why our cabbages can be healthy like this,inspite of the hot climatic conditions that we have been facing these days.
However, the dry grass materials are the best for use.

My OLD MAN’s CV – Zwavelpoort-BAs the place where I am is up for sale…Gypsy on the Move?

As explained in the link above, I will post, a series of what would be my OLD MAN’s CV.

This is a garden I started from scratch at an Artist’s Studio, Zwavelpoort, Pretoria East. As you see it was just a piece of Veld. As usual I did not have anyone help me, each spade of sand, each rock I carried myself. The photos in the ensuing series…

After getting a few beds well prepped I start planting a few things. Radish are the best for a quick crop. Then depending on the season a few other veggies that are “in season” Usually I plant from seed that I get out… the dustbin of where I am. People throw away a lot of food and even more seeds. My next mission is to get the kitchen staff to trow all veggie cuttings and peels in a container. Potato peels I found to be no good. Too much starch .. I think.

And as I said a Veggie Garden does not have to be ugly, or even untidy. Those pots with succulents? Waste from the Artist Bronze Foundry, crucibles for melting metal that are burned out. Heavy and durable. Then I am always glad to see little animals like Geckos in my gardens. They also eat Goggas, as I do not use ANY poisons , insects are a concern. But there are ways to deal with that, and the wild animals that raided her, monkey and Duiker were the problem with  larger animals. The biggest problem was with Blowfly and any Squash type veggies. I found out , years later, that the Blowfly are invader species mainly, spoke to a conservation guy in St Lucia, he was hanging up traps, similar to one that a Gardening Club sent me here! Did not work! But. As we go along I will tell you what I did and how my crop was just too much for the place. I was eventually swapping veggies for biltong with a neighbor. Now that was a good trade!!!!

More about all this tomorrow…..

Have I told you about the onions from my garden yet?
This is the biggest one I harvested this year: 13.6 cm in diameter and the weight is 1,056 grams. Not too bad... ;) good for Zwiebelkuchen!

Teaching young people about sustainable agriculture for food production and environmental conservation is one of the best ways to fight future hunger problems.
We should aim at creating a future generation who are so creative to solve world problems.
