I have shared with you in a post entitled, “Newbie Farmer” my interest in farming. Aside from trusting one’s gut, getting support from people who know better is one thing that any newbie farmer (like me) should learn.
Luckily, I have a clan of farmers who are ready to share their wisdom and there are people from the institutions who studied the technicalities of farming. Combining both schools of thought serve as a guide to calculate risks, labeling that gut feel, intuition, or whatever it’s called as “scientific.”
Sharing with you information on seminar on “Starting Your Own Vegetable Garden” by Harbest as one of the options to learn the basics before jumping into a larger scale of farming.
- Okay, I haven’t attended this seminar myself (read: conflict in schedule) but I’m guessing that it will present a wealth of information for anyone who’d like to start urban farming. Yes, you may grow those veggies in pots around the house.
So how do I know it will be good if I haven’t attended? Every time I visit Harbest’s office in Pasig, whether I buy a packet of seed or not, the people (technicians, engineers, assistants, even the owner himself) are very approachable, patient, and willing to teach newbies like me.You’ll be surprised to discover their nursery in the building rooftop.
I actually look forward to my visits in Harbest. It inspires me to become a better farmer and gives me a boost that there are expert people (unbiased ones a.k.a. non-relatives hehehe) whom I can turn to in times of doubt.
