Peta Malan (31) se liefde vir tuinmaak het in haar kinderdae begin waar sy baie oor boerdery en plante op haar ouers se plaas buite Wellington geleer het. Vandag is tuinmaak vir haar \u2019n veilige hawe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peta werk al byna \u2019n dekade in die reklamebedryf in Kaapstad en toe die inperkings toeslaan, het sy al haar vrye tyd op haar groentetuin in haar agterplaas toegespits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het aanvanklik haar Backyard Boerdery-blad op Instagram (@backyardboerdery) begin om deur middel van foto\u2019s rekord te hou wanneer sy wat geplant het, maar toe talle mense via haar blad na haar uitreik, het sy besef haar blad op Instagram kan veel meer beteken as net iets waar sy dagboek hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peta, \u2019n oudleerder van Hugenote Ho\u00ebrskool, vertel dat al twee haar oorlede oupas geboer het, asook haar pa, wat steeds \u2019n wyn- en wingerdstokkie-boer is, en sy meen dit is juis by hulle by wie sy haar liefde vir tuinmaak en om plante te kweek, ge\u00ebrf het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peta se ouers boer op \u2019n wynplaas buite Wellington en sy was reeds van \u2019n jong ouderdom af aktief betrokke by die daaglikse werksaamhede op die plaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy onthou wortels was haar eerste saadjies wat sy as kind gesaai het, en vandag spog sy met \u2019n groot verskeidenheid vars produkte uit haar tuin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peta s\u00ea sy het al \u201cverskriklik baie\u201d van tuinmaak geleer, en sedert sy meer oor die \u201cno-dig\u201d-metode geleer het, grawe en spit sy baie min in haar tuin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het ook belangrike lesse geleer oor die belangrikheid van deklaagbewerking, veral in Wellington se uiterse hitte in die somer en die koue, nat winters.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook onlangs begin navorsing doen oor die gebruik van voordelige insekte ten opsigte van plaagbeheer in haar tuin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk probeer dit nou met verskeie insekte wat ek vrylaat om te help om plae natuurlik te beheer. Dit is baie interessant, en ek glo nie die leerproses sal ooit eindig nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Peta het sy nog nie produkte uit haar tuin verkoop nie, maar sy deel graag haar oeste met haar ouers en vriende. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek byvoorbeeld \u2019n bedding skoonmaak en te veel van iets pluk, probeer ek altyd om dit te preserveer of te piekel. En dan kry die wurmplaas en die komposhoop die laaste stukkies wat ek nie kan gebruik nie,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea sy geniet dit baie om te sien hoe \u2019n saad waarna jy lank gesoek en dan in die hande gekry het, ontkiem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis die beste gevoel om te weet jy begin iets van \u2019n klein saadjie af kweek, om dit dan \u2019n paar maande later te oes. Dit smaak soveel beter as winkel-groentes en sommige plante soos soetrissies, brandrissies, eiervrug en vrugtebome kan jare lank bly groei en oeste lewer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soos met enigiets wat \u2019n mens aanpak, beleef Petra ook uitdagings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAanvanklik het ek baie met kruipmolle gesukkel. Dit het gelei na die Rain Queen Planters<\/i>, waarvan ek nou ses het. Ek voer die onderkant met ogiesdraad uit om die molle te keer sodat hul nie in my beddings kan opkom en die wortelstelsels van my plante verniel nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy twee honde is ook maar \u2019n daaglikse uitdaging om uit plekke te hou waar hulle nie mag in nie, maar hulle is die meeste van die tyd darem soet \u2013 behalwe soms wanneer ek iewers \u2019n massiewe gat moet toegooi!\u201d lag sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deur voortdurend nuwe maniere te vind om te plant, en alles in haar tuin te gebruik, is dit duidelik dat tuinmaak Peta se siel koester en haar \u2019n ander uitkyk op die alledaagse lewe anders gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea ook haar tuin is soos haar beste vriend \u2013 amper soos om \u2019n hond te h\u00ea. \u201cMaar in plaas daarvan om drukkies en liefde te kry, kry ek wortels, beet en blaarslaai.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
