Preparing the growing beds in the Roosboom vegetable garden

In Roosboom, the vegetable garden team – now made up of four women and two men from the township – works several mornings a week alongside Fisani, who is in charge of the project. After the harvest, a new essential stage begins: preparing the growing beds for the coming season. The beds are re-cut with a flat spade, because over the seasons, weeds in the aisles naturally gain ground on the cultivated areas. This is precision work that ensures the plots are neat, fertile and ready for the next planting.
