Preparing the planting beds at Levi’s Nek farm

The young people take possession of the Levi’s Nek farm at the end of the southern winter, which is cold and dry in Lesotho (temperatures can drop to -4 degrees). So it’s time to start preparing the beds for the market garden crops that will provide the youngsters with food and generate income for the farm. Raised beds have been laid out near the farmhouse to meet the needs of the youngsters. Field crops will be grown on the more remote plots.
Manure has been collected from neighbouring farms to enrich the soil.
