Recent projects in the māra

Team work really is dream work! We have many examples of what can be achieved when we work together. Recent achievements, with the help of wonderful volunteers include the up-graded and raised the seedling hardening-off area.

Over a week, many volunteers helped make this raised bed for asparagus, which was fun and fulfilling! Asparagus originate from coastal areas, so we mixed pumice in with our compost for improves drainage and added a thick layer of seaweed. This is a long term commitment, as we won’t be harvesting any spears for a couple of years. On the advise of Kahikarea Farm, where we purchased the organic asparagus crowns, we’ve planted wild strawberries as a productive green mulch on top.
