Our group of Atlas Club students from South Carolina, visiting CCDO for a week, were so impressed with our community home gardens. The group insisted on getting in with the action. They till the land and used primitive methods to make the rows. they then dropped in the seeds of morning glory and other vegetables into the created rows.
The trick was getting buckets of water to wet the ground to ensure the gemination of the seeds. Most of these sophisticated 18 year olds, had never experienced planting. They were amazed at the crops that we grown, all pesticide free, by the community.
Promises of photos to be taken when the crops start sprouting in the next few weeks.
The 10 family community gardens in the Ampil Commune continues to feed the schools and also provides and income for these families.
