August!
Key Foundational Scripture: Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Farming is for 12 months of the year. Let’s use winter wisely:
1. Keep fields weed free
2. Budget farm plan
3. Make compost (July – mid-August)
4. Inputs – use open pollinated seed
5. Off season maintenance
6. Dig holes
7. No burning, ploughing
8. Protect mulch
Tools: prepare and maintain
1. Hoe’s and weeding tools
2. Fertilisers and manure. Cups or teaspoons
3. Measuring stick – 75cm
4. Teren rope with markings every 60cm
5. Seed
6. Pegs – metal or wooden
The small-scale farmer is the BEST farmer on the planet! God has faith in you.
Land Preparation
No ploughing, keep weed free, establish baseline, protect God’s blanket, make rows across the slope – spacings 75cm, hole out planting stations 60cm, hole size: width 15cm and depth 8 – 15cm, place soil down the slope. Complete by end of October.
