Its been a busy five weeks here getting things moving and although things often don't happen as quickly as we may all like there is still good progress.
The 16 ha (40 acre) Research farm is sitting waiting to be developed and when we come back in January it will be high on the list. There is great potential to make a huge difference in the crop yields of the small holder's who just for some information can I am sure achieve much higher and more importantly for small farmers (1 to 5 acres) more yield stability from season to season. i.e avoid the feast/famine cycle.
Thankyou to you the readers of our blog for your interest, it is encouraging, I will give some less regular posts until January 15th when we return to Kenya although I will show some of our Australian crops and harvest as this may be of interest to those outside Australia.
An interesting thing is who has been reading this blog so far, there has to date been people in Russia, Uganda, Canada, US, UK, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa and of course Australia.(Blogger has a Stats page that shows me where the audience is coming from)
Hi there, my name is Ruth and my husband and I live in Tassie. I used to live in Kenya for a number of years - about 1 hour east of Nyeri near a little village called Kiawara...until 2 years ago when we moved back here. Pete (my husband) and I have recently started an organisation doing greenhouses in schools and other projects like that. I just had a call from my Auntie who you met over the weekend and she suggested I contact you. We are coming over in February - (just for a couple of weeks unfortunately) but would love to catch up if possible. My email address is ruth@tandumonline.org - thanks heaps and have a great day...
