  Descrição

  Hello,
  MY LAST MINUTE REQUEST FOR 1 or 2 WEEKS HELP
  Actualy I need help to 1) bring a few wheelbarrows of manure and mulch to the vegetable garden, 2) plant stakes for a new reinforced fence to protect trees from goats, 3) continue planting small trees for shade and fruits later, 4) improve the protection of my little woodenhouse against the risk of fire, and to do this, cut branches and brambles, move logs of dead wood, 5) build trellises to make vines climb and provide shade etc... Thanks in advance !
  
  WHO I AM
  I am Catherine, 65 years old, living among nature, at 25km from Montpellier since more than 38 years, with some animals (dogs, donkey, goats, chikens, ducks...).
  My way of living is very basic and even a little bit roots... but it's also magical the most part of the year. I experiment natural way of living and natural technics for gardening, and my mission is to transmit to other people through workshops and trainings.
  And now that my son has gone for living his own life somewhere else, I need some help from time to time, for cleaning the ground in order to prevent fire risks, for gardening etc... and may be, if we both agree to the idea, for taking my place for a few days (but later!).
  
  MY PROPOSAL
  While or after working, and in exchange for your help, I can teach you about autonomy and the ways for natural living, and especialy about natural technics for gardens. I also can coach you for your own projets.
  So don't be surprised if I am talking a lot, and I expect the same from you, so that you learn the more possible informations for your future projects and for our planet Earth!
  
  ABOUT THE TASKS TO DO FOR HELPING ME
  It will be according to the seasons, the program, the habilities you will show, and the length of your stay . Generaly, you will start by removing brambles and brush with shears in some places before we can plant together some new trees, vegetables...
  And when it will be the moment for planting or sowing, I'll teach you and we'll do it together; and it will be the same for any other task etc...
  So please never thinck I'm giving you only bad tasks because there is none, and I personaly do any of them as soon as I can, and this since many years, because I enjoy practicing. But now I also need time to prepare my other activities, and in exchange, you will benefit from all my knowledges if you wish.
  
  WHAT WE CAN ALSO SHARE
  We can share other activities too, like discussing in french (possibily in english or spanish) about travels, or cooking together etc... and I'll show you some of the best sites around me, especialy if you enjoy walking... I know very nice treks !
  Please, notice that this is not an opportunity for tourism as I live quiet far from any town or touristic site with no public transport.
  Of course, once a week, we'll can go somewhere together with my car, but not in the week-end (to avoid the crowd and hunters), and preferently in natural sites...
  
  WHEN YOU CAN VISIT ME
  So I propose you to visit me preferently in spring or automn, the best seasons here for living and working outside, when it's not too warm and not too cold. ..
  
  Please read carefully all the details that I give you, so that we are in agreement on everything, and more especially the particular conditions at the end of the profile : "WHAT ELSE".
  
  If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me and ask more informations !
  Catherine

  Ajuda

  Idealy, I expect someone that is interested by discovering an other way of living, by learning and praticing natural way of living and especialy natural technics for gardens or little agriculture, for family or association, or for transmiting later to others.
  There is not a lot of work and not much every day. So it's important to be independant, to enjoy moments alone with yourself, and to have a quiet good health and way of living, and no addiction.
