Reel Gardening an Idea born in 2002 by Claire Reid at the age of 16 is one of the successful agri-startups in south Africa, with such a great history of Reel gardening, finally, the fruits of the garden are being eaten.
Reel Gardening was designed to be the simple solution to gardening – and simple is the best word to describe it. All the fuss is taken out of gardening by using the illustrations above to explain how to plant Reel Gardening strips, which makes gardening accessible to everyone. In addition, you don’t need to think about how deep and at what distance apart to put the seeds into the soil as the biodegradable paper already anchors the seeds at the correct depth and distance apart.
