| Model gardens at Echo Farm in Florida |
Nutrition is on the way up in our communities in Zambia. We introduced small kitchen gardens planted in old tires last summer and they are receiving a very enthusiastic reception. The tire gardens require a minimum amount of good soil (most of the soil in our communities is hard as cement!) and the tire maintains moisture content thereby reducing the transporting of water. Now to get stuff to grow! We're getting expert agricultural advice from Echo Farms, however, and hope to have proof-of-the-pudding gardens next growing season.
