Description
Hi! I'm a first generation farmer experimenting with dry land agriculture (traditional rice variety) and starting out with farming - focusing mostly on vegetables.
I work with traditional, native, heirloom and self pollinating seeds only, of course organic.
So here are the quick tasks i would appreciate help
1. Construct Earth structure for a kitchen with an over/rocket stove
2. Farming activities
I'm sure it's engaging and it's gonna be a different learning experience with so much creativity, laughter, learnings and satisfaction. I'm sincere and a honest person trying to live a simple slow life.
