BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT
Sat, 2009/01/17 - 22:34

Eddy and I had a long chat this morning as he worked to get the project page set up. We discussed what help was needed for the village and we were able to come up with several things that you will now see posted to the project page. In our discussion, Eddy provided some background information about his local community which I thought was important and should be included here.

Work in Kisozi

Eddy said that tailoring and fabrication of metal doors and windows are the main two sources of employment in his community. Girls with computer skills also perform secretarial work.

Hope Alive Uganda Office

Space is rented each month at the cost of 60,000 UGS in the local school, Buzaya Secondary School. The school is a government sponsored school and the members of Hope Alive Uganda try to assist in getting orphaned children in their community enrolled. A nursery and primary school are located in the Pallisa District. Hope Alive Uganda works with both schools. There are 200 children enrolled in Pallisa and only 50 children enrolled in Buzaya Secondary School. I asked him why there was such a big discrepency in enrollment. Eddy told me it is because so many cannot afford to pay the school fees.

Hope Alive Uganda hopes to one day build their own school. Eddy tells me that they have bricks available to do so, but lack funds.

Income generation

I asked Eddy if Hope Alive Uganda has ideas about income generation activities. He said that they do and have considered agriculture as well as raising cows and goats. They have land available to do this.

Hope Alive Uganda-Basic Information

There are 7 members that comprise Hope Alive Uganda. The organization has been in existance for 3 years. They do have a constituion developed as well as a Mission/Vision statement and organizational budget.

Best wishes-

Jennifer

He says that growing vegetables is a great profit making - and in 90 days. We need to find a way for the boys and girls to make some kind of woven basket to hold the plants in - Ken had suggested newspaper could make a very good small pot with a seedling in it to sell. Good possibility. am posting his info here about drip system and covering plants - he has the best info I have seen on 'no till' farming, which can increase production of land 2, 3,four fold. We need to think about working with him. bucket drip irrigation GARDENS/MINI-FARMS NETWORK USA, México, Rep Dominicana, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Haití, Honduras, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, England, Nicaragua, India, Uzbekistan Workshops [urban & rural] in organic, no-till, permanent-bed, gardening, mini-farming, mini-ranching, with bucket drip irrigation, worldwide, in English & Español Bucket Drip Irrigation The bucket must be suspended at least l meter above the ground. A tube is connected to the dripline and the other end is placed in the bucket to siphon the water out. Assuming the bucket is 20 liters, fill it twice for each row of vegetables. The dripline can be moved to another row for irrigating. Each row of vegetables is irrigated every other day. Plant a row of vegetables on each side of the dripline and use 40 liters of water. Bucket Kits The key to the simple drip irrigation system that we use is the gravity fed "bucket kit". The bucket kit consists of four 8m lines [or two of 50 ft or one of 100’] of drip tape connected to a bucket suspended 1m above the vegetable bed. Water is poured into the bucket and is evenly distributed to 100 watering points. By filling the bucket twice a day, a small kitchen garden can be watered. Studies in Kenya have shown that two of these kits can provide the water needed to produce enough vegetables to feed a family of seven during the dry season. These bucket kits are available in most countries (US$15), save water, save labor, and are easy to use. Go to Chapinlivingwaters.org. Using sleeves Farmers in Honduras invented a VERY cheap drip irrigation system. They buy the regular black poly hose. Then they punch holes in it where they want them with a nail or ice pick. A hot nail is best. Then take short sections [5 inches] of the same hose, cut it lengthwise to form a sleeve, and place a sleeve over each hole. This sleeve applies pressure to the hole, only letting a little water out, like a drip. This technology is quite cheap, VERY simple to do. Maintenance is also simple, because if a hole plugs up, you can often unplug it merely by taking the sleeve off and then replacing it. Using screws Farmers in Nicaragua are using cheap round tubing and wood screws. If drip tape is unavailable, this is a great alternative. We tried it with great success. The screw is inserted completely into the tubing at each planting location so that it protrudes through the opposite wall. It is then backed off to allow water to drip through that side. The flow is set by screwing it in or out as needed. This even allows for variations in pressure due to terrain. Pin holes for drip I am wondering if a dripline could be made by using a hot pin or very small hot nail, etc. to punch holes in the poly tubing. I mean really tiny holes. DIY drip kit: Roger Pigott [San Diego workshop] decided to use two bucket drip systems on a bed in the garden but he did not want to siphon the water. Kits from Echonet.org are $25 each. He went to the hardware store and purchased: 100' of ½" black poly tubing; a post to hang buckets on; a faucet rosette washer and nut; ¾" ring washers; ¾" swivel tubing adapter; union - ¾" pipe threads and garden hose threads. One for each bucket. He drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the bottom of the buckets and installed the fittings. He then connected the tubing from the buckets to a header. He has five driplines connected to the header using tees and ells. He used wood screws for the drip outlets. There is about 60' of dripline. He planted seed in the five rows and laid the dripline over the seed. Very original thinking! Buy enough hose to connect the drip line to the top of the bucket to siphon out the water. It takes about 1-2 hours for the bucket to empty. The dripline can be moved to another row of vegetables or plant a row of vegetables on each side of the dripline. Use more water. If one is willing to carry the water, one line will irrigate several rows during the day. Plant green manure/cover crops to cut and leave on top of the soil to improve the soil. This is a MUST. Also, can be intercropped with the food crop.

I am enclosing some info from Kyomya - a gentlemen who works with Nabuur a lot - Ken hargesheimer. He says that growing vegetables is a great profit making - and in 90 days. We need to find a way for the boys and girls to make some kind of woven basket to hold the plants in - Ken had suggested newspaper could make a very good small pot with a seedling in it to sell.

We need to think about working with him.
bucket drip irrigation

GARDENS/MINI-FARMS NETWORK
USA, México, Rep Dominicana, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Haití,
Honduras, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, England, Nicaragua, India, Uzbekistan
Workshops [urban & rural] in organic, no-till, permanent-bed, gardening, mini-farming, mini-ranching,
with bucket drip irrigation, worldwide, in English & Español

Bucket Drip Irrigation

The bucket must be suspended at least l meter above the ground. A tube is connected to the dripline and the other end is placed in the bucket to siphon the water out. Assuming the bucket is 20 liters, fill it twice for each row of vegetables. The dripline can be moved to another row for irrigating. Each row of vegetables is irrigated every other day. Plant a row of vegetables on each side of the dripline and use 40 liters of water.

Bucket Kits
The key to the simple drip irrigation system that we use is the gravity fed "bucket kit". The bucket kit consists of four 8m lines [or two of 50 ft or one of 100’] of drip tape connected to a bucket suspended 1m above the vegetable bed. Water is poured into the bucket and is evenly distributed to 100 watering points. By filling the bucket twice a day, a small kitchen garden can be watered. Studies in Kenya have shown that two of these kits can provide the water needed to produce enough vegetables to feed a family of seven during the dry season. These bucket kits are available in most countries (US$15), save water, save labor, and are easy to use. Go to Chapinlivingwaters.org.

Using sleeves
Farmers in Honduras invented a VERY cheap drip irrigation system. They buy the regular black poly hose. Then they punch holes in it where they want them with a nail or ice pick. A hot nail is best. Then take short sections [5 inches] of the same hose, cut it lengthwise to form a sleeve, and place a sleeve over each hole. This sleeve applies pressure to the hole, only letting a little water out, like a drip. This technology is quite cheap, VERY simple to do. Maintenance is also simple, because if a hole plugs up, you can often unplug it merely by taking the sleeve off and then replacing it.

Using screws
Farmers in Nicaragua are using cheap round tubing and wood screws. If drip tape is unavailable, this is a great alternative. We tried it with great success. The screw is inserted completely into the tubing at each planting location so that it protrudes through the opposite wall. It is then backed off to allow water to drip through that side. The flow is set by screwing it in or out as needed. This even allows for variations in pressure due to terrain.

Pin holes for drip
I am wondering if a dripline could be made by using a hot pin or very small hot nail, etc. to punch holes in the poly tubing. I mean really tiny holes.

DIY drip kit:
Roger Pigott [San Diego workshop] decided to use two bucket drip systems on a bed in the garden but he did not want to siphon the water. Kits from Echonet.org are $25 each. He went to the hardware store and purchased: 100' of ½" black poly tubing; a post to hang buckets on; a faucet rosette washer and nut; ¾" ring washers; ¾" swivel tubing adapter; union - ¾" pipe threads and garden hose threads. One for each bucket. He drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the bottom of the buckets and installed the fittings. He then connected the tubing from the buckets to a header. He has five driplines connected to the header using tees and ells. He used wood screws for the drip outlets. There is about 60' of dripline. He planted seed in the five rows and laid the dripline over the seed. Very original thinking!

Buy enough hose to connect the drip line to the top of the bucket to siphon out the water. It takes about 1-2 hours for the bucket to empty. The dripline can be moved to another row of vegetables or plant a row of vegetables on each side of the dripline. Use more water. If one is willing to carry the water, one line will irrigate several rows during the day.

Plant green manure/cover crops to cut and leave on top of the soil to improve the soil. This is a MUST. Also, can be intercropped with the food crop.

A camera for Eddy

Wanted to share this with you: a friend from class at college is in Uganda at the moment as a volunteer. She will be there for 3 weeks. Before she left for Uganda, I arranged with her to take a camera I bought for Eddy. And today, Eddy and John picked up the camera. This is sooooooo great to see my friend from college giving my camera to Eddy :D
