Drought has been really intense this year, our community has been pretty much desperate trying to preserve the most of the harvest out here... The only option we could think of is extra watering the soil, but it is mostly a temporary measure. The solution is currently under development and I hope the crop will be saved.


Best regards,

it seems like during the past few years drought emptied many places. Europe suffers as never before, and all the fires in Russia... not enough vegetables and fruit for winter, they get more expensive
