New Year, New Roots: Green Gardens Harvests Big and Rotates Crops for a More Productive Season Ahead

The dawn of the New Year has arrived with renewed purpose at Green Gardens in Sizinda, where farmers are busy harvesting mature crops while carefully preparing their plots for the next production cycle.

The timely harvest marks the successful close of the previous season, rewarding months of patient plant husbandry and disciplined teamwork.

With beds being cleared methodically, the gardens are alive with activity as members assess yields, store produce, and reflect on lessons learnt, all while setting their sights on a more productive year ahead.

In a deliberate move to safeguard soil health and enhance future yields, Green Gardens has embraced crop rotation, ushering in a fresh variety of crops suited to replenish nutrients and break pest and disease cycles.

Legumes and other soil-boosting crops are being introduced to
restore fertility, while careful planning ensures balanced land use throughout the season.

This strategic transition, not only promises healthier soils and improved productivity, but also reinforces the gardeners’ commitment to sustainable agriculture and long-term food security for the impoverished Sizinda community.
