Yesterday we held a colorful tree-planting program in the Lunnya the small town Together with pupils from Lwamata Primary School in Lunnya, we walked through the the community carrying tree seedlings to the planting site. Along the way, many people joined and learned about our mission. Even those who didn’t know us before came to understand our work to protect the environment, fight climate change, and secure a better future through actions like tree planting.

We planted different types of trees, including both fruit-bearing and non-fruit trees, all of which benefit and support a healthier environment. Thank you for your support and for following our amazing posts today. @Gustodon ✌️🙏

These posts make me very happy. They spark so much joy and #hope! May your garden and your community grow like peppermint (one of my favourite plants, always on my balcony, it’s incredibly resilient)!

I do! In spring and summer we always have multiple types of berries, various herbs and fresh salad. We even have a little worm box to produce humus and fertiliser! I very much hope my children will also learn how to grow food and to appreciate the work and patience needed for good products…

In case you want to learn more about the worm box system, see link below. It’s unfortunately all in German though…

@KorinnaAllhoff @econetwork here is a Wikipedia page for what I think is the same thing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermicompost?wprov=sfla1

It's a fantastic way to generate compost, and liquid compost (basically worm poop) which is even better as fertilizer. But u does require a bit more work than normal composting

Yes, that’s it! I disagree on your last point though, because our worm box needs almost zero maintenance. We get hummus about three to four times a year and liquid fertiliser maybe once a month or so. The latter can even be produced on demand simply by adding water to the box and waiting for liquid („worm tea“) to drip into the gray tray below…

@KorinnaAllhoff @Alejandro_P @econetwork That’s really interesting I actually read about this today in the morning and even subscribed to keep getting their updates. It’s amazing how it needs almost zero maintenance just bring it home, find a good place for it, and start using it. Really love this idea.

My husband had a major composting system at our last place, where I had a big garden.
He used a hybrid system, with worms in regular compost bins that he rotated regularly. A few times a year there was amazing, rich vermicompost.

Tagging him so he can 'splain his system better. I told him he should write an article about it but @kmcdouall is a busy guy
