Your Story | I’m a fruit and veg grower living in Margs, growing in my backyard and on a property in Carbanup. I first got my hands in the soil only 3 years ago, working a season on a certified organic veggie farm in Serpentine. Since then I’ve moved down south, studied horticulture, completed a PDC, attended environmental / gardening talks / events, and spent a lot of time reading and listening to learn more about soil health, growing practices, and sustainability. I’m fairly new to this field, though passionate and eager to learn. |
Challenges I can best help others solve are: | Happy to share challenges and solutions I've experienced over the last few years of backyard growing and market gardening. |
Key challenges I would like to solve are: | Minimising the use of outsourced inputs |
