Hello,
My family in law is owning a pretty big field where they are themselves growing their vegetables. They proposed me to use as much land as I want which is great. However, it is 100km (62 miles) from the city where I live.
Is there any point in growing vegetables knowing I can’t go there more than once every 2 weeks? I can go with easy to manage vegetables. I could install some water drop system and use some permaculture techniques to help plants take care of each other. The soil is mostly clay so it keeps the water pretty well and it is quite rich. But they still need to water it frequently in the hot season for a few weeks. And if it rains a lot, it can make some puddles for several days. They have some pond with a bit of algues, frogs, which can make the water pretty rich. It is in plain sun so I might need to protect the plants of the full sun if needed.
My parents in law are going there on a daily basis so they can always keep an eye in case something goes wrong. But I would not like them to handle them, they have enough to do with their own vegetables.
Thank you in advance.
