Is it enough to learn cultivation theoretically?
For many of us, it is not enough to simply study plants and cultivation; we often want to put our new knowledge to the test.
The Cultivation Committee is the committee that exists to allow our members to dig in the soil and cultivate as much as they want.
It's rare for a student apartment to have enough space to accommodate more than a few potted plants.
The committee has been given about 600 square meters of SLU land to grow on completely undisturbed. The committee has all the amenities in the form of water, a small shed and a growing tunnel with space for everyone to grow together or perhaps a small area so you can try growing that special tomato variety you've always wanted.
The Cultivation Committee has a Messenger Chat that is used as a communication channel between members. If you are interested in joining, just contact them by email, via Instagram or get in touch with someone who is already a member.
About being on the committee
All involvement in the committee is entirely according to your own schedule or interest. It's great to show up sometimes to pull weeds or just sit in the nice garden and hang out.
Usually, the active members meet on Wednesday afternoons to work.
Of course, it's also possible to go there outside of scheduled meetings if you'd rather be there on your own.
The chairman has a budget to purchase common seeds and tools, but it is of course possible to grow your own seeds if you prefer.
We all share the land so remember to respect other people's crops.
Here you describe what it is like to be part of the committee and briefly describe the tasks and division of labor.
