We are super excited about this years first ever sustainability festival in the Lowveld.
Each years work will culminate in a festival, this year being 2, 3rd and 4th March 2018.
Optigrow is honored to be part of the highly dedicated Spark team with a view to achieving positive and sustainable change in our communities.
With involvement in local communities and with community leaders, small and large business alike through to local and national government, Spark festival stands poised to bridge the gap between people in our communities, business and government.
With projects like food gardens, urban gardens, clean water initiatives, water way cleanups, tree planting, training and education. Support and infrastructure in low income communities, you too can get involved.
Healthy organic soil is our thing, what skills can you pitch in.
Share, teach, learn, grow!

≈ Comments Off on World day to combat desertification
Saturday was an important day for South Africans and Africans alike.
As we see more and more the effects of climate change, desertification of our green spaces is a growing concern.
Without our attention increasing scarcity of water and the degradation of soil is what we have to look forward to in our future and in that of our children.
It is with great pleasure that we can play our part in the fight to combat the slow degradation of our soil.
Where soil rehabilitation stabilises moisture within soil, reduces errosion and combats desertification there are many more positive aspects and facets to soil rehabilitation through the application of worm castings.
We encourage farmers and gardeners alike to visit our web page and read more about worm castings, nature’s fantastic product.
