4. Choose your veggies
Choose a mix of your favourite vegetables and herbs and follow
the instructions to space them out correctly. Consider planting
the most nutrient-dense vegetables and herbs that are good
to plant at this time of the year. These include spinach, garlic,
peas, asparagus, beetroot, eggplant, tomatoes, red cabbage and
cauliflower.

5. Crop rotation
Different plants soak up different nutrients from your soil. So, to
avoid using all its nutrients, rotate/change your crops around by
planting a different vegetable in each section after every harvest.
It is through providing nourishing meals that you can ensure the
wellbeing of your family and your community. The harvests we
reap in the future will depend entirely on what we plant today.
