At Nourish eco village nothing goes to waste this term was full of activities that were encouraging to our team and community members to reuse their recyclable materials and resources.Triad our farm manager collects Ash (which is a good source of potassium,Phosphorus and Magnesium) from the grannies kitchen to add it to compost because wood ash is a good source of many micronutrients that are needed in growing plants.
One of the activities that took place was a perma-culture workshop where Trygive Nxumalo the facilitator was teaching community members the importance of using grey water, how to make their own compost and how they can use items around their homes that are either broken or of no use to plant their crops and veggies.
During the workshop we got to see a toilet pot used to plant spinach and empty bottles and rocks used as demarcations in the new garden. We must say that we are even happier that all that was learned during the workshop was put into practice at the eco village because our garden is looking greener than ever.
And our Grannies kitchen is now able to harvest veggies like Spinach,Greenpaper and Chilly for Green Kidz and our creche.Which enables us to save on our donations.And for the future we are planning on keeping the garden fully functioning so we can continue harvesting for all our feeding schemes and save on donations.
We as Nourish team we are grateful to every support that we get from each and every one of you,Thank you!!
