To the sound of good music and in an intimate atmosphere specially prepared, guests are greeted with flavored water and tea - prepared with fresh herbs, harvested in the Umapaz experimental field.
- Flavored water: how to make, recipes and benefits
The workshop's speaker is Raul Cânovas, who has 59 years of experience in the area. He says that even those who live in an apartment can grow fruit in pots such as pomegranate, araçá, acerola, cherry, jabuticaba, orange, bergamot, kinkan, lemon and many others - provided that some basic care is taken, such as the quality of the substrate, drainage of the vessels and the irrigation regime.
- Humus: what it is and what are its functions for the soil
