Manage gardens in hot, humid, high-rainfall environments: drainage and erosion control, soil fertility under heavy rain, preventing fungal disease, and planning crops and layered systems that thrive all year.
Warmth and water are gifts — but they need managing. Tropical high-rainfall regions can grow food all year round, yet heavy rain leaches soil, humidity breeds disease, and careless layouts wash away topsoil. The skill is channelling that abundance instead of fighting it.
Across five modules you will learn how to read a tropical growing environment, build soil and manage water under heavy rainfall, prevent the fungal diseases that humidity encourages, plan crops through wet and dry seasons, and design layered, productive systems that keep giving for years.
