Crop planning and companion planting:

Heavy rain is highly anticipated, so we need to do some work near a comfortable cheater. Based in the theory we will go through you will be able to know the requirement to set up your garden and your plot at the farm, then you can visit during the volunteering hours in a good working day to get your seedlings planted. All the hands-on processes missed because of the rain will be done in a good working Saturday.
