Rice fields are usually burned to make the soil easier to plow in the summer...or to catch mice and rats
The students are proud of the Bush Yardlong Beans! Thanks ECHO!
Preparing bamboo to make a stand for bucket drip irrigation
Students busy in the garden
Relaxing in the rice straw pile
This bucket drip irrgation system uses a $10 kit, an old 5 gallon bucket and a stand.
One kit can water 30 meters (100 feet) of vegetables.
We set this up this week.
Digging a channel to bury the pipe for a simple suction pump
to pump water 20 meters from the pond to the jar in garden
It's coming together! If anything involves water or building
something, you can bet David will be around
(the student without a shirt on).
Moving the jar to the right spot
And we have water! Woo Hoo! So simple, yet so amazing.
