 Horticulturist, Steve Wood, from Perth way, took time out from his holiday to visit Bayulu and talk to Bayulu CDEP mentor , Anthony Smith about a new system for growing vegetables. Bayulu is currently setting up a new market garden under the CDEP program. Steve has been trialling the system for many years and says that it will allow a high level of productivity even through the wet season.
Vegetables are grown in rows of 35 litre plastic bags and watered by a fully automatic irrigation system. It is hoped to produce enough fresh vegetables for Bayulu with any excess going to Fitzroy Crossing. The operation could employ up to 6 people. |
