First pruning of young sisal (10.08.2011)

 Dala Rieko has planted along fences.

More than 100 suckers planted with farmer Job Ang'ano in Papotere and
other places.
Thinking that Dala Rieko could assist in farmers industry by buying a
small machine for brushing, run on electricity....
Bruce Cameron has brought info about machines of different sizes, for
sale, developed w University of Nairobi and by National Board...
Friend Maurice Langu has the biggest knowledge abt growing and
marketing sisal... And Charles Oraha brought the good sisal for Dala
Rieko first planting.

Attached photos:

work headed by Job and Collins and done by Dala Rieko Learners.

All the best, regards tsr

Seeing that sisal needs little rain and works very well in soil conservation projects.
