In the Press: Saskia's successful organic vegetable and food forest home project ...
Saskia has some unusual plants among the better known ones: tamarillos, which grew quickly and produced a profusion of fruit; yellow-fingered brinjals, black pearl chillies, the hardy spinach-like tsunga from Zimbabwe, ears of amaranth heavy with grain, and a useful vetiver grass which purifies water, cherry guavas and southernwood, which repels bugs.
Nothing is taken off the property – kitchen waste is turned to compost, prunings get chipped and used as mulch.
