Description
I’m a watersport instructor spending my time between my farm, that needs a lot of care, and my watersport center. 1h distance between.
The help would mostly involve bungalow construction and gardening. There is always something to mend or need new constructions. In April, May and June there is a lot of tasks with fences and planting to prepare the garden for the summer. November its time to produce olive oil from ours trees. I grow a some vegetables and I try to be as eco as possible. I would like to do more permaculture gardening.
