    Help

    I need people eager to help me with the house and garden , particularly in the following tasks:
    • Maintain the garden
    Cut the grass, prune some trees
    • Build a vegetable garden (50 square meters)
    My aim is to be as self-sustainable as possible, by growing my own food using organic and bio intensive practices and by trading surplus with others.
    For this, it is needed to prepare the landscape, build a rainwater collector system, grow the seeds, tend to the vegetable plot, weed, water and harvest vegetables.
    • House hold and garden : cleaning and small repairs. Keep the shared areas clean and tidy
    • I would like to make a new small open shed for storage burning wood .
    And a small green house
