Tires to the rescue

Battling heavy clay soil and scarce water, recycled tires are now being used as gardening containers at the Chipulukusu School.  The vegetables are thriving (thanks to the fence which keeps goats and chickens at bay) and have already been harvested to supplement the school lunch program. This is the second Good Life Garden project.  The first was the incredibly successful Moringa trees which grew to over 8 feet in less than 6 months!   Somehow we'll have to convince the Kafwa to share the fun of planting and weeding with the children :-)
