I was very impressed by the knowledge the teachers brought to the workshop.
Mercy, from Busenya, brought a banana 'bowl' and a banana tree and showed how suckers could be cultivated.
Mercy showed how drainage ditches could be placed to collect the most amount of water.
She also described how manure can be made in pits.
Douglas explained how fertilizer can be made by fermenting tree leaves.
Suitable crops were discussed.
Busenya's farm should become a model farm. Advice is given by a Governor and the children will be very proud of what they have achieved.
