So, my main focus for my term in office is on food insecurity, hence the garden project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questioned on what inspired him to apply for the JCC, the teenager commented that it was a platform where he could make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI never knew what the JCC was but then I saw a post on Instagram and thought how many people from our communities were not aware of such things,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt also provides me with a platform to actually give back; something I have always been involved in is community outreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tutoring\">Tutoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to assisting with spearheading the garden project, Meyer will also be offering tutoring to primary school learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am offering tutoring for academics to learners of Square Hill Primary School and this is the first step into something that could grow into something bigger,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m also hosting toiletry and non-perishable drives that will be used for people in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teenager says he has already learnt valuable lessons such as \u201clots of rejection\u201d while trying to set up the garden project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_f984620a\">\n<div

bio-stimulants in three weeks\u2019 time because, during the first two weeks, it won\u2019t need any liquid, it will only need sunshine and water,\u201d said Platt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RegenZ works with various potato varieties, servicing small-holder farmers by procuring locally sourced mainly organic products that promote soil health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very new in the small-holder farmer type of environment because we normally work with large-scale commercial farmers but we see the need for smaller farmers and the market and think we have access to the right raw materials to supply local farmers, small-holder growers and school community programmes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-testing-soil\">Testing soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to contributing to the garden school programme, RegenZ will be testing new soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to see if we can get some kind of trial data back on the products,\u201d said Platt. \u201cOne of the new products we are working on is an organic-based fertiliser, so we have one set of potting soil which comes from a local manufacturing company and then we have two variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we get trial data back that our soil did better than other soil, then it is a benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ |&nbsp;<a
