Shamba Shape Up Season 11
Welcome to Shamba Shape up series 11.
This week we are in Meru county, visiting farmers Alfred and Margaret Muthomi and their son John Paul.
They are building up and wants to give back back both as the same time.
They ran a farm and a children's home and they want to increase their yields for the next season with the children's needs in mind.
We are doing two good deeds at the price of one.
In this farm we learn:
➢The importance of soil-testing.
➢The importance of harvesting rain water and how to set-up the rain water harvesting system.
➢How a certified nursery provides seedlings (Avocado) free from diseases and how it is done.
↝↝Also the importance of buying a certified seeds and good farming practices of planting it.
➢How to increase your milk yield by practising good management of your brachiaria grass and how to preserve the grass by making hay bales for use in dry season.
➢How to protect your crops and livestock from disaster in a cheaper way.
