I think Wakitaka could use some of the seeds. Also, I think they will need to set up the drip kit - and am awaiting some to come from Nairobi via bus to be picked up in Jinja. We will have to set that up- They are $22 each - maybe from the extra farmers grow and sell on their same plot, they could help pay for another drip kit for another farmer? I have no idea how much a farmer makes for his/her veggies, but I think they should be able to 'pay it forward' to be able to help another farmer after his/her good fortune. Maybe, starting a farmer's co-op of say 4 or 8, each farmer who gets seeds and a drip kit will contribute $5 or $10 to the co-op after harvest/selling, thereby allowing another farmer or two to join the group. We could also see if we can set up an 'Adopt a Farmer', which would only cost, I don't know - do they need hoes and axes to cut the growth down - remember they are NOT tilling the land? We'll talk more about this - -- Ginger :) [teaser] => Oh no - that's great if you can start a Farmer's Co-op, whereby you give the seeds to farmers - but maybe this time, make them sign a promise to use no till and plant the hairy kvetch or ground covering to protect the veggies from pests - then, surely they will have enough for themselves And their family And some left over to sell. this is ken's specialty - i think you said he had sent the DVD's for you to learn - there's also a lot of info on line.
