Hi Pascale, hope you are well thinking about it further I have decided to go ahead and complete this project myself and involve the Permablitz community in the next one. That way I can make sure I finish this one before the deadline (Again, please do let me know when it is). And because from the 20th of May, I will be in full-time employment. Also, after my training with them, I'll be more prepared and connected, and we can go ahead at an easier pace.7 Best wishes, Victoria
Hi Pascale, I hope you are well and thanks very much for coming to see the space and support me with the decision making. After having looked at the vegtrugs closer I found that the price was very costly, I have found some other self-watering planters that may work. But meanwhile I have been volunteering with Permablitz and perhaps they could do one here, which would mean more connection and community. and more expertise (Although I am taking a course in permaculture and wicking planters growing myself, so I will have plenty of expertise soon) They could only do it July, though. Would that work or be too late? In any case it would be good to know the exact dead line to make sure I make it. PS: I keep on looking in Facebook for My mini growing space and I cannot find it. Can you help? I'd like to join. Thanks again for everything. Best, Victoria
