In addition, the produce from the gardens will be used for feeding schemes at schools, cr\u00e8ches, and other organisations,\u201d said Gwynne-Lee Borcherds, Economic Develop\u00adment Manager for Perdekraal East Wind Farm, which funds this project.<\/p>\n<p>Through the project, each beneficiary will receive seeds, seedlings, compost, fertilizer, and insecticides. A local enterprise, Ikamvaletu Tunnel Farming, has been appointed to manage the project and they will be visiting the gardens twice a week to monitor the progress and provide support to the beneficiaries. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, beneficiaries will also receive training in proper soil preparation, planting skills, best times to plant, crop selection, pest and animal control, irrigation methods, harvesting and commitment to the process.<\/p>\n<p>One of the beneficiaries, Marilyn Fillis, expressed her gratitude for the initiative and support. \u201cAs someone who is currently unemployed and unable to afford the high cost of vegetables in stores, I\u2019m immensely grateful for this programme and have gained a wealth of knowledge in such a short space of time. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the project for their assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual Perdekraal East Wind Farm food garden project, which aims
