Shamba Miti Mingi is a new Permaculture project. We wish to show an example how we can grow a lot of vegetables and fruit trees dispite big challenges, like poor sandy soil, long dry periods and a very hot climate.
By tradition most shamba owners grow Coconuts, Mango and Cashewnuts.
Seldom you see any biodiversity of trees and very few vegetables. In fact most of the shamba land around us lies idle.
We are now two people who have done the Permaculture Design Course. We feel very inspired as these methods of farmig fit very well to cope with our challenges.
Make good soil and lots of mulching, recreate the forest structure!
We hope that more people will come and see our work to deveop their precious land.
We have two donkeys and a cat and a dog to help us.
