Description
St. Thomas University VISIONS program participant Tobias Knight preparing holes for transplanting seedlings into the steep slopes on a terraced planting area of Plenitud’s organic permaculture farm. Tilling would weaken the soil structure on this steep slope, and cause erosion. Individual holes for seedlings disturb the soil less and allowing the seedlings to take hold before the soil washes away. Over time they develop their root systems which help to strengthen the soil and help prevent further erosion in the future.
