Organic Farming.

Organic Farming Workshops.
In recent years many people have begun to realise the value of growing food. Particularly organic farming methods as it has now been quite clearly established that organic yields are superior to monoculture yields. Provided you have the knowledge of what to do, this way of growing food is now the direction of the future. A great deal of work has been done toward recovering the enormous knowledge base that was so badly damaged by the advent of industrial agriculture and chemical fertilisers in the early part of the last century. Positive Cycle is proud to be able to contribute to the recovery of this essential life supporting knowledge and offers organic farming workshops at the Positive Cycle garden in Auckland Park Johannesburg.

Learning Old Ways.
Much of the knowledge of how to grow food organically has been recovered by organisations like Positive Cycle in a process of trial and error. Enough time has now been spent on this endeavour that all over the world it is now becoming possible to roll out organic farming workshops where learners have an unprecedented opportunity to learn what really works. We have made progress in leaps and bounds and are ready to share what has been learnt.

Vegetable gardening classes.

Gardening Workshops.
Positive Cycle is proudly hosting a very comprehensive set of vegetable gardening workshops. The classes run from 09h00 on Saturdays at the Positive Cycle Garden in Auckland Park, Johannesburg and end at around 15h00. An organic and sustainable method of growing your own food is taught and it is well worth it. During the day a delicious lunch is served made from the ingredients learners are being shown how to grow.

It's a fun day out and you can really learn a lot. Positive Cycle is inspired by the idea of getting people growing. In more ways than one. Growing plants can be a tremendously self affirming activity. It's a serious class though. Real permacultural principles that have been tried and tested are used. Get in touch with Positive Cycle and see if you have a green thumb too!

The Positive Cycle Garden.

The joys of a well established and thriving food garden cannot be overstated. 

It revolutionises your lifestyle and puts you in a position to take charge of your health. 

Not only that but it is also so very restful to spend time in a thriving garden full of plants absorbing the sunlight and producing fresh food. Daily.

 It is nothing other than a habit to keep on going to the shops to buy food. Even if you don't have the time to prepare beds and set up organic recycling systems like compost heaps it is quite possible to find someone else to do it for you. Just think, how much of your food budget goes on produce? Vegetables and fruits, the most important part of a healthy diet can be grown in your own garden, better than they can on a farm. it is simply a question of know how.

 Positive Cycle operates a service called Gro4U.
An expert comes out to your place and assesses your garden before proposing a design for you. The design will be accompanied by a maintenance plan which can include instructing your own staff in the art of caring for a food garden.

Don't be mistaken, food gardens look very attractive too. Any visitor to the Positive Cycle garden in Auckland Park in Johannesburg can see for themselves how food plants and herbs can be used in conjunction with ornamentals and indigenous plants to create a wonderland of delights with a fully functioning ecological balance of its own. Gardening is no longer a hobby. Vegetable gardening has become an important part of many people's lives.

growing raspberries

Raspberries make a delicious cooling sweet on a hot day or even a fantastic addition to a salad.

Growing raspberries is one of the more rewarding gardening tasks. Basic soil preparation, plenty of sunlight and a years worth of patience at the least but what a lovely thing to have. 

You must provide something for the raspberry plant to climb on as it grows.

Gourmet gardens.
With enough variety, you can make dinners that will make your neighbours jealous. When you hear, 'organic gardening' don't think of two carrots and some beans. The full range is impressive and tasty. Why not grow your own chilli plants? Or herbs. Or peppers. Chives are good. I'm going to stop now because the list of what you can grow when you use the Gro4U organic gardening service is practically infinite. See for yourself at  http://sites.google.com/site/growyofood/

A vegetable gardening service.

Ideally, a vegetable gardening service consists of more than just workers to give tasks to in your garden. What one really wants is expertise and willingness because the people growing your plants and taking care of your vegetables and analysing your soil and usng environmentally sensitive, non harmful pest control methods are doing so doing so because they love it.

Time is limited these days and this is why some are opting for a service to help them grow organic vegetables and get a handle on the green way to live. Which it is now obvious is the right way togo about things. Why pay big money for organic vegetables shipped thousands of miles when you could pay less for thesame or better, professionally grown for you on your own land?
