Lake Farm's "go green" progress

How can you support us and help conserve nature?

Re-Cycling Project: Drop-off depot for all sorted waste material*

NB: Urgent appeal to schools, organisations and corporate teams for any volunteer workers to assist us with this very importent green project that is currently struggling to survive due to limited recycling workers.

We started with a recycling project in April 2009 and almost 50% of our waste material gets re-cycled by the Waste Management Company.

We welcome friends and visitors to *deliver their dry and sorted plastic bags, all kinds of plastic bottles, glass, and carton, newspapers, magazines, tins and iron at Lake Farm Centre. We save money and protect and preserve nature and the earth.

Solar geysers:

We now replace damaged geysers with solar geysers and three have been installed the last year.

Compost and earth-worm farming:

Our vegetable garden has been making their own compost and we use our cattle dung in our gardens. Our vegetable garden uses very little insecticides and tries to farm organic as far as possible. We started recently with small scale earth-worm farming.

Lake and nature conservation:

We support and assist with the preservation and protection of our natural lake in co-operation with other land owners who contracted with Algoa Angling Club to manage the lake area for us.

Alien plants and water conservation:

We attempt to control alien invaders and poisonous trees but need the help of volunteers to really make an impact.

Rain water recycling:

We have a system that directs rain water into our dam and from there we irrigate our veggie garden.

Rain water tanks will help to conserve water and we would welcome a sponsor to help us with water tanks.

Sewerage:

Lake Farm Centre has it's own a sewerage plant independent from the municipality and pump all recycled sewerage water into our own dam to re-use on farm.
