Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!
This week we’re in Busei B village in Iganga and we’re visiting farmer Charles Kiwanuka and cartographer by profession.
Charles has 7 acres of land and he has 5 permanent workers. He grows bananas and has 300 plants. He harvests about 8 bunches per week from 1 acre. He has chicken and goats.
He has 4 cows, but they’re milking only one cow and are getting 12 litres per day. One is in calf, but we need to see how they’re preparing it for birth. He didn’t know anything about drying for example.
He grows tomatoes on one acre and will be planting new tomatoes mid-June. They supply tomatoes and bananas to the big hotels in the area.
He has 2 acres of elephant grass for his cows, but it is the grass that has the least protein, so will see which pasture is best for livestock.
And he’s also experimenting by intercropping sukuma wiki with peppers.
His main challenge is a lack of enough water for irrigation in the dry seasons.
Let’s go and learn more:
1) Cow preparation for birth
2) Pastures silage
3) Tomatoes management and staking
4) Intercropping Sukuma and peppers
