Organic/Biological methods we use
We don’t use chemicals here anywhere. We compost nearly everything or it goes to the chooks and ducks. We use IBCs as planter boxes and wicking beds. We also plant in the ground a certain way that works as we are either clay or limestone soil. We are building a glass hot house for the plants that need to stay a bit warmer. We build rocket mass heater or rocket water heaters to conserve energy and heat.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
Being a host was suggested by another host Joes Connected Gardens in Elizabeth Grove. We are affiliated with them as the arid rural farm. I would like my farm to be educational and for others to learn new skills of living off grid. Also to experience the beauty of this beautiful arid land. It comes across as very harsh but if your out here long enough the beauty shines through. Working the land with your hands and not relying on the system.
