Oct. 2024) 1 PDC LESSON - 3.72 - STARTING A GARDEN + NURSERY – SENNA ALATA & KALE Near NIGHTINGALE MEDICAL CENTRE in KISUMU MILIMANI KENYA The Senna Alata miracle tree grows gigantically, and we used and grew a lot of seeds from the summer. It is a great medicinal plant with unrivalled antitoxic properties, works against diabetes, Alzheimer's and malaria, and also against impure skin. I came across it by chance and googled it. You can use the leaves as a tea and drink them, or apply them to wounds. An unusual home remedy. KOZI YA PERMACULTURE AGRO-ECONOMY (Chapisho 42.

Super loose soil on which we first grew pumpkins, then tomatoes and have now planted kale with marigold in between. The small nursery and seed nursery is also sprouting and has gotten a bit out of control. But it doesn't matter, we plant what has come, Greek cotton, Senna Alata trees, melons and marigold.

 PERMACULTURE COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY (Post 40. July 2024) 1 PDC LESSON - 3.70 - STARTING A GARDEN + NURSERY – ALL GROWS –TIME FOR BREAD Near NIGHTINGALE MEDICAL CENTRE in KISUMU MILIMANI KENYA Yes, everything is growing well, it rains again in the evenings and that is what we need here, but the weeds are also growing and that is a lot of work. Our trees have all grown well, I have to count them, pawpaw, maple, moringa, and the typical Kenyan trees, castor oil tree, castor and also amaranth grows 3 m high if the soil is good. Time to bake bread, if you have a small oven, yes that is part of being a farmer, making cheese from whole milk, baking bread, making beer (from ginger), and slaughtering and making sausages yourself. These are the essential things for self-sufficiency that should be learned in school. PERMACULTURE COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY (Chapisho 40.

 PERMACULTURE COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY (Post 39.  2024) 1 PDC LESSON - 3.69 - STARTING A GARDEN + NURSERY – MULCH AND MARYGOLD Near NIGHTINGALE MEDICAL CENTRE in KISUMU MILIMANI KENYA I can only say from experience that mulching is an absolute must, especially in hot regions like here in Kisumu, where it is constantly 26 to 32 degrees at midday. Even if it rains heavily in the evening, the surface is dry the next day due to the intense sunlight. Mulching prevents this and the moisture stays in the soil up to the top layer. Vegetables in particular do not have deep roots and are dependent on the moisture in the top layers. The soil organisms can only really develop under mulch and constantly moist soil. Mulching is an absolute must for organic gardening.

PERMACULTURE COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY (Post 38. 2024) 1 PDC LESSON - 3.68 - STARTING A GARDEN + NURSERY – SALAD - KALES Near NIGHTINGALE MEDICAL CENTRE in KISUMU MILIMANI KENYA The lettuce was a success and we had it to eat every day. But if it is left in the heat for too long, it shoots and produces flowers and then seeds. 30 degrees every day here in Kisumu is too hot. There is not much lettuce here in the market, apparently because of the heat. But mixed salad with onions, tomatoes and yoghurt dressing is healthy. The heat does not harm the kale, it grows well and feels comfortable among the marigold, which keeps the vermin away.

 PERMACULTURE COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY (Post 37.  Mai 2024) 1 PDC LESSON - 3.67 - STARTING A GARDEN + NURSERY – PEPPER AND MORE Near NIGHTINGALE MEDICAL CENTRE in KISUMU MILIMANI KENYA After I realized that red and yellow capsicums bring the highest price in the supermarket, I bought seeds and grew them in pots. 440 KSH per kg is the highest price in NAIVAS that I have ever seen for a g of vegetables.. 250 KSH for green capsicum.. It takes a long time for it to grow and be stable enough to transplant, 26 days until it comes out is a damn long time. Beans come in 3 days. But let's see, it is definitely better than tomatoes, which are also sensitive and only bring 60 to 80 KSH per kg.
