The soil next to the cave is bad, like in high percentage clay and badly drained.
I searched the farm scrapyard for any "containers" to plant the veggies in that can be filled with good soil. Found off-cut PVC pipes, old tires and other usable stuff. Filled everything with a combination of potting soil, compost and in some cases, sand.
I bought most of the seed from the "SEEDS FOR AFRICA" website and the rest from my local Kaap Agri store. Seeds for Africa had some interesting stuff I had to test: Honeynut Butternut that only grow as big as your hand, Blue Shelling Peas, Patio Cucumber and Baby Corn. All plants were grown from seed in a seed tray. Probably wont go that route again with the bigger seed plants; just plant seed straight into container.
