We headed out with the incredible Refilwe Moloto from Cape Talk to speak with the owner of Moya We Khaya. A Dischem Initiative.
The community garden Moya We Khaya (The Spirit of Home) currently has eleven members, of which ten are part of the founding group.
The garden was formed in February of 2014, when 12 gardeners started growing vegetables in the very poor soil. A lot of compost, manure, and hard work was needed. Back then, all 12 members were working together as a big group, but they soon decided to divide the space so everybody could have their own set of plots. With this change in structure, their harvest improved immensely as everybody could now work at their own pace. To extend their knowledge, the community took part in training courses through Abalimi and the Department of Agriculture.
