Okete botanicals
This is a wonderful property that follows organic and permaculture practices. Food forests, vege beds as well as herbs and botanicals for making skincare products make up this magnificent property.
Project: General maintenance, compost making and garden feeding, pruning, planting, harvesting, you name it!
Challenge: Dealing with a few invasive weeds such as convolvulus.
Solution: Playing the long patient game of frequently and thoroughly removing weeds has proven effective in reducing and eliminating them. No harmful sprays needed!
