Plantation Plan
Planning the plantation layout is essential to maximize space, light, and plant health. It ensures that each crop receives enough sun, shade, and that companion plants can support one another while harmful combinations are avoided. Ultimately, it leads to better yields, healthier soil, fewer pests, and a lovely, functional growing space.

Making Rammed Earth
To replicate rammed earth without proper soil, I had to create it myself. I mixed 50% sand for 30% clay and 20% gravel. Since the model is 1:50, I had to make sure none of the gravel were over 6mm as the walls are 1.2cm thick. Then I added enough water so that the mixture is not too watery nor too dry.
