It is important this month to make sure that seedlings will be ready to be moved from the nursery and planted in the field. Seedlings first need to be prepared for the harsher conditions of the field. If seedlings have been properly looked after in a nursery, they may have received more water and shade than they will have once they have been planted. Gradually reduce the watering and expose the seedlings to full sunlight to make this transition successful. Characteristics of good seedlings As a general guide (remembering different species have different characteristics) good seedlings for planting out have the following characteristics:
• The shoot should be twice the length of the roots or the pot.
• The stem should be strong and woody.
• The seedlings should have many thin roots in addition to the main roots.
• Many seedlings will achieve these characteristics two months after germinating. Transplanting
• Transport the seedlings in an upright position
• Mark out a circle with a diameter of 30cm in the field
• Remove the topsoil and place in a pile
• Remove the next soil layer to a depth of 30cm and place in a separate pile
• Put in a 5cm layer of grass (dry grass in rainy season, fresh grass in dry season), (called mulching). Some groups add manure as well.
• Remove the seedling from the polythene bag. Do not break the earth-balls around the roots.
• Place the seedling in the hole
• Replace the topsoil first, then the second soil layer.
• Some groups do not fill the hole completely, but leave a gap of a few cm.This helps the rainwater enter the hole and infiltrate the soil. This can be especially helpful in dry areas.
• Any remaining soil can be placed in a mound on the downhill side of the seedling.This will help trap any rainwater and divert it into the hole.
• Water the seedling. Also remember that to give your seedling the best chance of survival you should plant the 3m - 4m apart. If you plant them closer together then the seedlings will not get all the water and soil nutrients they need because there is much competition.They will become weak and may die, so follow the best practice of a spacing of 2.5 - 3m. The Importance of Trees Trees are very important for environmental and material reasons: A. Environmental improvement:
• Trees cover soil, which protects it from wind and water erosion.
• Leaves and twigs fall to the ground and provide the soil with extra nutrients.
• Trees increase soil moisture by covering the soil and hence reducing evaporation.
• Tree roots help bind the soil and therefore reduce erosion.
• Tree roots also help water to enter the soil and hence improve underground water circulation.
• Trees improve local weather conditions by increasing the amount of water vapor in the air (increased humidity).
• Trees improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
• Trees provide shade and shelter. B. Material and nutritional value:
• Construction materials (furniture, posts, fences, rope etc.)
• Fuel wood
• Medicine
• Food/fodder These benefits are really valuable for farmers and for the world. A recent survey of TIST farmers in Kenya showed that the value of fruits, nuts, fodder, and firewood from trees they have planted in TIST and improved yield from using Conservation Farming averaged almost 37,000 shillings per farmer. It’s harder to put a value on the benefits of cooler, moister soil, cleaner air and some of the other benefits of the work we do in TIST, but we feel it on our farms every day. Promoting tree planting is hence of great importance to the community. Imagine what we can do when we plant more together! The Rains Have Come – Time to Plant Many More Trees. ENGLISH VERSION 3 Eating the right foods is important for all of us, but for people who are ill. Nutrition for long time patients Illnesses such as Diabetes, Cancer, HIV and AIDS, and Tuberculosis (TB) are chronic illnesses, meaning they recur or last a long time. In many cases of AIDS a long-term patient can lose a lot of weight and children may fail to grow normally. Chronic diarrhea is often a problem, along with many other illnesses Patients suffering from such diseases need to be fed the right, nutritious food to make them as strong as possible and help fight other infections. Good nutrition includes food which: 1. Provide energy to the body Foods in this category are sources of carbohydrates and include:
• Ugali (stiff porridge made from maize) and thinner porridge made out of maize, sorghum, millet, finger millet or cassava.
• Rice.
• Sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes. Note that oils and fats, in moderation, provide energy as well as adding taste to the food. 2. Are used for body building (Proteins)
• Meat (beef, chicken, goat, mutton, duck, guinea fowl).
• Fish (sardines, tilapia, Nile perch, mud fish).
• Eggs.
• Milk.
• Legumes (beans, cowpeas, green grams, peas).
• Groundnuts. 3. Are sources of Vitamins Vitamin A is especially important for keeping people living with HIV/AIDS. Many vitamins, especially Vitamin A, are available in enough quantities from:
• Green vegetables (cowpea leaves, okra, cassava leaves).
• Orange fleshed vegetables (orange fleshed sweet potato)
• Plantain (matoke)
• Fruits, especially those with a yellow colour (oranges, pawpaws, mangoes, ripe bananas, guavas) Drink - Sick people need to drink a lot of water. Drinking water should be boiled for at least 10 minutes, cooled and stored in a clean, covered container. Clean water is important for all members of the family, but is especially critical to those with a chronic illness, since they cannot fight other diseases as well as someone who is strong. - If the patient has chronic diarrhea you can make a simple rehydration drink to help replace the fluids the patient has lost. Dissolve six teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt in one litre of clean water. Add fruit juice to make it taste better. - Remember the basic hygiene principles. If you are preparing food for someone who is ill, make a special effort to ensure your hands are clean, food is washed and cooked properly, and that eating utensils are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Following these good nutrition and hygiene principles can make a big difference for the chronically ill people we care for. Good nutrition for chronically ill people. ENGLISH VERSION 4 We, TIST members from Kiegoi Cluster, appreciate the effort made by the TIST Leadership Council in sending Quantifiers to count our trees. We also thank the Quantifiers involved who did a good job within a short time. In Kiegoi, we are ready now to learn to do our own Quantification. Speaking during last month’s Cluster meeting, the area Assistant Chief, Mr. Mugambi Kalwilo, praised TIST for being a transparent organization. He pledged to support TIST. We the farmers also pledged to work hard to plant more trees in our own lands and grow TIST in our area.The more trees we plant, and the Increased hope witnessed in Kiegoi Cluster of Igembe TIST Area. Prepared by Joseph Gituma and William Mugambi on behalf of Kiegoi TIST Farmers bigger they grow, the more money we will earn from carbon sales and the greater the benefit we will have from other tree products. As Chief Mugambi advised us,“If you listen to what these leaders are training, you will benefit more environmentally, financially and also alleviate poverty in this area.” We are now expecting to receive payment vouchers next month. We will be exited to receive our tree payments. In meantime, we all agreed that Virginia Gakubia and Josphat Kirimi learn about and take part in Quantification. Since the election of the Group of Cluster Council (GOCC) last December, Karaba Cluster results have increased almost by 50 percent. Cluster meeting attendance has improved tremendously. Quantification of Small Groups is now better organized. Small Groups have added new nurseries. New Small Groups have joined TIST. More than 80 percent of the Cluster members are interested in buying TIST stoves. Recently, Karaba Cluster multiplied to have a new child cluster – Munyu Cluster. We are going to support, guide and help this new Cluster as it grows and develops in strength. We also appreciate rotational leadership that is well practiced in our Cluster. We give every member a chance to lead and share their unique leadership talents and gifts. Karaba Cluster – Together we Achieve More. By Mary Kathei This season, we have some things to celebrate because of Conservation Farming. When we talk of conservation, we actually talk of regenerating the land. I have a true story of conservation to share with my fellow TIST members. Last season, I practiced Conservation Farming in a 30 by 30 meter area and harvested 3 bags of maize. I
n the other three quarters of the land, I harvested only 2 bags. It was incredible to see so much more yield on from the smaller piece of land! This cannot be compared with conventional farming. Over 400 TIST members who have reported on their CF practice have reported good harvest. We Celebrating a successful harvest with Conservation Farming. By Dorothy Naitore would like to remind our brothers and sister sTIST members that we are facing a shortage of land. The little land we have is under great pressure, as we need harvest year after year and have little space for fallow. We help ourselves and protect our future when we conserve and protect these precious resources by using best practices, including zero tilling, mulching and fallowing the land where possible. By protecting the soil by not tilling the land, rotating the crops we plant, and practicing agro forestry, we can have better harvests to celebrate, for ourselves and for our children. Munyu Child Cluster first meeting. ENGLISH VERSION 5 In TIST, we plant trees for the long-term. Cobenefits from these trees, like their fruit and nuts, can be really valuable, especially when we organize to market fruit and other products together. Here are some trees that can be very beneficial. Avocado (Persea americana) Ecology: Grown in all moist areas. Pre-treatment: soak seeds in cold water for 24 hours, then plant directly into pots. Use fresh seeds as they do not store. Seedlings can also be grafted. Germination takes 3-4 weeks and spacing should be at least 6m.
These trees are normally planted around the homes. Uses: Firewood, charcoal, food, shade, cosmetics, oil. The fruit is nutritious, rich in fat, protein and vitamins. Bark, leaves and seeds are toxic to browsing animals. Seedlings can be intercropped with beans when young. This tree can be a good income-earner. Guava (Psidium guajava, Kikuyu: Mubera) Ecology: Drought resistant but can’t tolerate waterlogging. Seeds: No pre-treatment. Germination: 3 weeks. Spacing: 4m. Good trees for TIST: Fruit Trees. Uses: Firewood, charcoal, poles, food, edible fruit rich in vitamin C and vitamin A. Bears fruit in 3-4 years. Wood is termite resistant. The dried ripe fruits are recommended as a remedy for dysentery, while the leaves and fruits are used as a cure for diarrhea. Oil exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. The leaves or bark are made into a lotion for skin complaints, ringworm, wounds, and ulcers.The leaves are also used for digestive tract ailments, cold, and high blood pressure, trauma, pain, headache, and rheumatism. Juice is used to help hepatitis, gonorrhea, and diarrhea. Intercropping: Performs well when intercropped with fodder crops such as maize, sorghum and cowpeas. Guava can be invasive in some areas and take over a field. Mango (Magnifera indica) Ecology: Does not tolerate flooding and needs welldrained soil. It can do quite well in dry areas. Seeds: No pre-treatment required, although nipping the seed helps germination. Seeds can be stored for a month at room temperature, fresh seeds are best. Can also use grafts. Uses: Fuelwood, fruit, fodder, bee-forage, windbreaks, mulch, shade, soil conservation, gum. a. Prunus africana (Kikyuyu: Muiri, Kimeru: Mweria) This indigenous tree is mainly found in forest reserves. Seeds are available in forests, during the dry season. Collect only dark brown ripe fruits from the crown of the tree or the ground. Remove the pulp by soaking for 24 hours, then wash over a wire mesh. Spread in a thin layer in an airy shaded place to dry – but for 4 hours only. The seed does not store so use the fresh seed. Wrapping moist leaves around the seed minimizes moisture loss during temporary transport and storage. Sow directly into the seedbed or pots. Germination takes 6-8 weeks. Uses: Can repel some pests e.g. aphids, nematodes (those which attack crops) by its smell. Flowers have sufficient nectar and pollen for good bee forage. Produces high-quality firewood. Medicine: Liquid extracts from bark are used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Leaves are used as an inhalant for fever or are drunk as an infusion to improve appetite. Water is added to pounded bark, and the red liquid is used as a remedy for stomach-ache; bark extract may be used as a purgative for cattle. Erosion control: Trees can be grown along contour ridges and terraces, provides useful shade and acts as a windbreak. Soil improver: Leaves can be used as mulch and green manure.
Ornamental: It makes an attractive garden shade tree. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) This tree is commonly found in lowland and upland rainforest and in open habitats near forests. Good trees for TIST: Indigenous trees. Either untreated or soaked seeds are sown. Fresh seeds need no pre-treatment. Stored seeds are soaked in warm water and left to cool to room temperature. The seed coat may be nicked at the cotyledon end to hasten germination. Seed germination is good, 70-80%, within 10 days. Seeds should be collected while still on the tree to minimize insect damage. Seed can be stored for at least a year if kept dry and insect free through addition of ash. Uses: Bee-forage, fuel wood, timber, gum, tannin, medicine (extracts from the crushed pods are taken for stomach pains and the bark decoction for malaria), erosion control (the root system holds soil and prevents gulley erosion), ??shade, nitrogen fixing (improves the soil), known as a good mulch tree as leaf litter is abundant during the leaf shedding season, ??ornamental (planted in town avenues for aesthetic purposes), ??boundary planting, the leaves quicken the ripening process in bananas. c. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) This tree is found in a variety of habitats, usually near water, on stream banks, and also in open woodland. It is resistant to both frost and drought. Fresh seeds are used for sowing. Old seeds can be soaked in cold water for 48 hours. Seeds are often pre-treated by cracking with a hand vice or by rolling a stone over seeds.This is because removing the endocarp can enhance germination.The seeds can be stored at dry room temperature for a few years. ENGLISH VERSION 6 TIST has continued to expand improved stove program.The benefits of these stoves range from fuel efficiency hence saving money used to buy wood fuel, keeping smoke out of kitchen hence improving our health, reducing carbon emission to the atmosphere hence improving our environment and many more. TIST members are excited about TIST’s Improved Stove Program. Many members have already signed up to purchase an improved stove. Starting this month, TIST is offering several new models from Envirofit and Jikopoa. Order your improved stove now!! How do I order my Improved Jiko from TIST?

Delivery and Pickup: Manufactured stoves will be delivered to the purchaser’s cluster. Coordinators will arrange a time and place where your cluster members will pick up the stoves. Stoves should be delivered within 7 days of receiving your payment. Mud stoves are only available where the clay is good for building the stoves. At this time, these clusters include Ngariama, Kianyaga, Salama, Tunyai, Matakiri, Pondo Kilia, Kamwendei, Nthingini, Kagaene. After you pay for a mud stove, a stove builder will contact you within 7 days to arrange for a time to build your stove.
NOTES: Partial payments cannot be accepted at this time. Please pay in full. Improved stoves are here!! Uses: Food: the main olive products are olive oil and edible olives. Fodder: The plants are much browsed on by livestock. Also used for fuel, timber, charcoal, tooth brushes and ornaments. Reclamation:The high drought tolerance suggests that it is a good candidate for reforestation in semi-arid zones of Africa. Ornamental: Olive trees have the capacity to beautify the landscape. d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forests. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform. Rates of 80-90% are attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruits are perishable hence should be picked from the ground soon after falling.They may also be collected by shaking the branches with hooks. After collection, the fruits should be sown out immediately as seeds will lose viability if they are dried; if this is not possible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moist sawdust and open containers in well-ventilated rooms. Uses:Food (fruit), bee forage, timber, fuel wood, shade, medicine (fruit is used as a remedy for dysentery, while a decoction of the bark is used to prevent diarrhea). Note the poisonous bark has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products from this tree.

TIST hushapisha nakala kwa lugha ya mama katika maeneo inayohundumia wakulima. Nakala hii ya Kiswahili imeshapishwa kutumika kwa maeneo ambayo TIST inaanza. Pindi tu vikundi vindogo vitasajaliwa ramsi katika mradi wa TIST na kuweko kwa TIST Cluster, nakala ya lugha ya mama itaanzishwa katika maeneo hayo. KISWAHILI VERSION 2 Kutayarisha miche ili kuihamisha (Kuitayarisha kuishi katika hali ngumu) Sasa kwa kuwa mvua imefika, miche inahitaji kupandwa. Ni muhimu mwezi huu kuhakikisha kuwa miche iko tayari kuhamishwa kutoka kitaluni na kupandwa shambani. Miche kwanza inahitaji kutayarisawha kwa hali ngumu iliyo shambani. Kama miche imekuwa ikichungwa vyema kitaluni, inaweza kuwa ikipata maji zaidi ya ambayo itapata ikishapandwa shambani. Kidogo kidogo, ipunguzie maji unayoipa na uifungulie jua lote kuhakikisha itaweza kuhimili uhamisho huu inavyofaa. Sifa za miche mizuri Kama mwelekezo wa kijumla (ukikumbuka namna mbalimbali huwa na sifa mbalimbali) miche mizuri ya kupanda huwa na sifa zifuatazo:
• Shina linapotokeza lafaa liwe na urefu wa mizizi au mfuko mara mbili.
• Shina lafaa kuwa lenye nguvu na gumu.
• Miche inapaswa kuwa na mizizi myembamba mingi pamoja na mizizi mikubwa.
• Miche mingi itakuwa na sifa hizi baada ya miezi miwili ikishaota. Kuhamisha
• Beba miche ikiwa imesimama inavyofaa
• Pima duara lenye upana wa sentimeta thelathini shambani
• Toa mchanga wa juu na huuweke kwa pango
• Toa safu la pili la mchanga hadi sentimeta thelathini na uweke kwa pango lingine.
• Safu la nyasi sentimeta tano ( nyasi kavu msimu wa mvua, nyasi mbichi msimu wa ukavu).Vikundi vingine huongeza mbolea pia.
• Toa mche mfukoni. Usivunje mchanga uliozunguka mizizi.
• Weka mche shimoni
• Rudisha mchanga wa juu kwanza, halafu safu la pili la mchanga.
• Vikundi vingine havijazi shimo hadi pomoni, ilhali huacha pengo lasentimeta chache. Hili husaidia kuingiza maji ya mvua shimoni na mchangani. Hili sana sana husaidia maeneo makavu.
• Mchanga ambao hubaki unaweza kuwekwa kwa pango kwa upande wa chini wa mche. Tendo hili husaidiakushika maji yoyote ya mvua na kuyarudisha shimoni.
• Chotea mche maji. Kumbuka pia kuwa ili kuupa mche wako nafasi nzuri ya kuishi inafaa huipande ikitengana meta tatu kwenda nne . Ukiipanda karibu kuliko hivyo, miche yako haitapata maji na madini ya mchanga yote inayoitaji kwa sababu ya ushindani mwingi. Itakosa nguvu na yaweza kufa, kwa hivyo fuata mwenendo mwema zaidi wa kutenganisha kwa meta mbili na nusu kwenda tatu. Umuhimi wa miti Miti ni muhimu sana kwa sababu za kimazingira na kibidhaa: A. Kuboresha mazingira:
• Miti hufunika mchanga, tendo ambalo hulinda mchanga kutokana na mmomonyoko unaosababishwa na upepo na maji.
• Majani na matawi huanguka ardhini na kuoongeza madini mchangani.
• Miti huongeza unyevu mchangani kwa kuufunika mchanga na kupunguza evaporation.
• Mizizi ya miti husaidia kuushika mchanga na hivyo basi kupunguza mmomonyoko.
• Mizizi husaidia maji kuingia mchangani na hivyo basi kuboresha mzunguko wa maji yaliyo chini ya ardhi.
• Miti huboresha hali ya anga ya ilipopandwa kwa kuongeza unyevu hewani ( kuoneza ubaridi)
• Miti huboresha uzuri wa hewa kwa kunyonya hewa chafu n na kupumua hewa safi.
• Miti hutupa kivuli na pa kujifunika. B. Thamani ya kibidhaa na kilishe:
• Bidhaa za kujenga ( vyombo vya kutumia ndani ya nyuma, gogo, kamba na kadhalika)
• Kuni au makaa
• Dawa
• Lishe ya watu na ng’ombe Faida hizi ni zenye thamani sana kwa mkulima na kwa dunia yote. Utafiti wa hivi juzi wa wakulima wa TIST katika Kenya ulionyesha kuwa thamani ya matunda, lishe ya ng’ombe na kuni kutoka kwa miti waliyopanda wakiwa TIST na mavuno bora kutokana na Ukulima Bora ilifika elfu thelathini na saba kwa kila mkulima. Ni ngumu kupima thamani ya faida za mchanga baridi na wenye unyevu zaidi na faida zingine za kazi tunayofanya katika TIST, lakini tunaiona thamani hii mashambani mwetu kila siku. Kupendakeza upandaji wa miti hivyo basi, ni muhimu sana kwa jamaa. Fikiria ambayo twaweza kufanya kukipanda zaidi tukiwa pamoja! Mvua imefika- Wakati wa kupanda miti mingine mingi. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Kula chakula kinachofaa ni muhimu kwetu sote lakini sana kwa walio wagonjwa. Lishe ya wagonjwa wa muda mrefu Magonjwa kama ya sukari, saratani, ukimwi na TB ni magonjwa yasiyopona, yaani yanayojirudia rudia ama yanayokaa muda mrefu. Katika kesi mingi za ukimwi, mgonjwa wa muda mrefu anaweza kupunguza uzito na watoto wanaweza kushindwa kukua inavofaa. Ugonjwa wa kuhara usiopona sana sana ni shida, ukija pamoja na magonjwa mengi mengine. Wagonjwa walio na magonjwa kama hay huitaji kulishwa chakula kinachofaa na chenye madini yanayofaa kuwafanya kuwa wenye nguvu tosha ya kusaidia kuyafukuza magonjwa engine.
Lishe inayofaa ni pamoja na chakula ambacho: 1: Hupa mwili nguvu Chakula katika kundi hili hutupa kabohaidreti na ni pamoja na:
• Ugali and uji wa mahindi, wimbi, mtama, au mihogo
• Mchele.
• Viazi tamu ama viazi. Kumbuka kuwa mafuta ya wanyama na ya mimea, kwa vipimo huongeza nguvu na pia kuviongeza vyakula utamu. 2: Hutumika kujenga mwili (protini)
• Nyama (ng’ombe, kuku, mbuzi, kondoo, bata)
• Samaki (dagaa, tilapia, Sangara wa Nile, samaki wa matope).
• Mayai
• Maziwa
• Kunde (maharagwe, kunde, ndengu, mbaazi )
• Njugu 3: Hutupa vitamini Vitamini A sana sana ni muhimu katika kuwatunza wemye Ukimwi.Vitamini nyingi, sana sana Vitamini A, hupatikana kwa vipimo vinavyotosha kutoka kwa: • Mboga za kijani (majani ya kunde, okra, majani ya mihogo).
• Mboga zenye rangi ya machungwa(Viazi vitamu)
• Ndizi
• Machungwa, sana sana yenye rangi ya njano (machungwa, papaya, maembe, ndizi zilizoiva, mapera) Kunywa - Wagonjwa huhitaji kunywa maji mengi. Maji ya kunywa yanapaswa kuchemshwa kwa dakika zaidi ya kumi, yaachwe kuwa baridi na yawekwe katika mkebe msafi na uliofunikwa. Maji safi ni muhimu kwa familia yote lakini ni muhimu zaidi kwa wenye magonjwa ya muda mrefu, kwani hawawezi kufukuza magonjwa mengine vizuri kama mtu aliye na nguvu. - Kama mgonjwa na ugonjwa wa kuhara usioisha, unaweza kutengeneza kinywaji cha kuyarudisha maji ya mwili anayopoteza. Koroga vijiko sita vya sukari pamoja na kijiko nusu cha chumvi kwa lita moja ya maji safi. Ongeza juisi kuyapa utamu.
- Kumbuka mambo ya kila wakati kuhusa usafi., Ukiwa unatengeneza chakula cha mgonjwa, tukua hatua ingine ya kuhakikisha kuwa mikono yako ni safi, chakula kimeoshwa na kupikwa vizuri na kuwa vyombo vya kulia vimesafishwa na kukaushwa vizuri. Kuzingatia chakula kinacofaa na usafi kunaweza kufanya makubwa kwa wagonjwa wa muda mrefu tunaochunga. Lishe nzuri kwa walio na magonjwa yasiyopona au ya muda mrefu. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Cluster ndogo yaMunyu katika mkutano wao wa kwanza. Sisi wanaTIST kutoka Kiegoi cluster, tunashuluru kwa kazi iliyofanywa na viongozi wa TIST kwa njia ya kuwatuma wanaohesabu miti kuja kuihesabu miti yetu. Tena tunawashukuru Wahesabu miti ambao walifanya kazi nzuri kwa muda usio mfupi. Katika Kiegoi, tuko tayaari kusoma ili tuweze kujihesabia miti wenyewe. Akiongea katika mkutano wa cluster wa mwezi uliopita, Msaidizi wa Chifu wa eneo letu Bwana Mugambi Kalwilo, alisifu TIST kwa kuwa Kampuni yenye uwazi.Aliahidi kusaidia TIST. Sisi wakulima pia tuliahidi kufanya kazi kwa bidii kupanda miti mingine kwa mashamba yetu na kukuza TIST katika eneo letu. Tukipanda miti mingi, na ikiwa mikubwa, ndipo tutapata pesa nyingi kutokana na soko ya hewa na ndivyo faida zetu kutokana na bidhaa zingine za miti zitaongezeka. Kama chifu Mugambi alivyotupa mawaidha, “Ukisikiza viongozi hawa wanayofunza, utafaidika zaidi kimazingira , kipesa na kupunguza umasikini katika eneo hili” Sasa tunangoja kupata vocha za malipo mwezi ujao. Tutafurahia kupata malipo yetu ya miti. Kwa wakati huu, tumesikizana kuwa Virginia Gakubia na Josphat Kirimi watasoma na kusaidi katika kuhesabu miti. Kuongezeka kwa matumaini kumeonekana katika cluster ya Kiegoi katika eneo la TIST la Igembe. Imeandikwa na Joseph Gituma and William Mugambi wakiwakilisha wakulima wa TISt wa Kiegoi cluster Tangu Uchaguzi wa wawakilishi katika mkusanyiko wa cluster mwezi wa Decemba mwaka jana. Mazao ya Karaba cluster yameongezeka kwa asilimia zaidi ya hamsini. Mahudhurio ya mikutano yameboreka sana. Uhesabu wa miti ya vikundi vidogo humepangiwa vyema zaidi.Vikundi vidigo vimeongeza vitalu vipya.Vikundi vidogo vipya vimejiunga na TIST.
Zaidi ya asilimia themanini ya wanaTIST katika hii cluster wanania ya kununua majiko ya TIST. Hivi juzi, cluster ya Karaba ilijigawa na kuwa na cluster ndogo- Munyu cluster. Tutaishikilia, kuiongoza na kuisaidia hii cluster mpya inapokua na kupata nguvu. Pia tunashukuru uongozi wa mzunguko ambao unatumika sana ndani ya cluster yetu. Tunampa kila mwanacluster nafasi ya kuongoza na kugwana uwezo wake na zawadi ya kipekee ya kuongoza. Karaba Cluster – Pamoja twaweza kutimiza makubwa zaidi. Imeandikwa na Mary Kathei. Msimu huu, tuna mengi ya kuadhimisha kwa sababu ya ukulima bora. Tunapoongea kuhusu ukulima bora tunaongea kuhusu kuirudisha ardhi ilivyokuwa. Nina hadithi ya ukweli kuhusu Ukulima bora kugawana na wakulima wenzangu katika TIST. Msimu uliopita, nilitumia ukulima bora katika shamba lenye urefu wa meta thelathini na upana wa meta thelathini na nikavuna mifuko tatu ya mahindi. Kwa shamba lililobaki la ekari quota tatu, nikavuna mifuko miwili pekee. Iliajabisha kupata vuno kubwa zaidi kutokana na shamba lililokua ndogo kati ya mashamba haya! Ukulima bora hauwezi kulinganishwa na ukulima wa kawaida. WanaTIST kuliko mia nne ambao wameripoti kuhusu ukulima bora waliojaribu wana ripoti ya vuno nzuri. Tungetaka kuwakumbusha kaka zetu na dada zetu katika TIST kuwa tuna shida ya mashamba kidogo. Shamba ndogo tulilonalo limeshinikizwa, kwa sababu tunahitaji mavuno mwaka nyuma ya mwaka kwani hatuwezi kuachilia msimu wote ata padogo bila ya kulima. Tunajisaidia na kulinda kesho yetu tunapohifadhi na kulinda rasilimali hii iliyothamanika kwa kutumia njia bora kama kutolima, kufunika ardhi na majani (boji) na kuachilia bila kulima tunapoweza. Kwa kulinda mchanga kupitia kutolima, kubadilisha mimea tunayobanda msimu kwa msimu, kilimo cha mseto, tunaweza kupata mavuno mema zaidi ya kufurahia kwetu na kwa watoto wetu. Kufurahia mafanikio ya mavuno na ukulima bora. Imendikwa na Dorothy Naitore KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Katika TIST, tunapanda miti ya muda mrefu. Faida zinazokuja na haya kama matunda na karanga, zinaweza kuwa na thamana, sana tukipanga kuuza matunda na vitu vingine pamoja. Ilio hapa chini ni miti ambayo inaweza kuwa yenye faida kubwa. Avocado (Persea americana) Ikolojia: hupandwa maeneo yote yenye unyevu Matibabu kabla ya kupanda:.Lowesha mbegu kwa maji baridi kwa masaa ishirini na nne, halafu panda mifukoni moja kwa moja. Tumia mbegu ukishaitoa kwa tunda kwani mbegu hazikai muda mrefu. Miche inaweza kua kutokana na matawi pia. Kuota ni baada ya wiki tatu kwenda nne na nafasi kutoka mti mmjo hadi mwingine iwe meta sita kupanda. Miti hii sana sana upandwa karibu na nyumba.
Matumizi: Kuni, makaa, chakula, kivuli, vipodozi, mafuta. Tunda ili ni lishe bora, lina mafuta, protini na vitamini. Gome la mti, majani na mbegu sumu kwa wanyama wanaokula majani. Miche inaweza kupandwa pamoja na mahagwe ikiwa midogo. Mti huu ni njia nzuri ya kupata pesa. Guava (Psidium guajava, Kikuyu: Mubera) Ikologia: Inaweza kuhimili ukame lakini haiwezani na maji yasiyoisha. Mbegu: Haihitaji kutayarishwa. Kuota:Wiki tatu. Nafasi kati ya miti: meta nne Matumizi: Kuni, makaa, magogo, chakula, matunda ya Miti mizuri katika TIST: Miti ya matunda. kula yaliyo na Vitamini C na Vitamini A. Huzaa baada ya miaka tatu kufika nne. Mbao hailiwi na mchwa. Matunda yake yaliyokauka na muafaka hupendekezwa kwa ugonjwa wa kuhara damu, ilhali majani na matundwa hutumika kuponya ugonjwa wa kuhara. Mafuta yake huwa na sifa za kupambana na moto inavyofaa. Majani na gome lake yaweza kutengeza mafuta ya kuponya shida za ngozi, vidonda na vidonda vya tumbo. Majani bado hutumika kwa kasoro katika utumbo, baridi na shinikizo la damu ndani ya mwili, kiwewe, uchungu, maumivu ya kichwa na maumivu ya viungo na misuli. Juisi hutumiwa kusaidia maumivu ya maini, kisonono, na kuhara. Kuchanganya mimea: hufanya vizuri ikichangaywa na mimea ya kuwalisha mifugo mfano mahindi, mtama na kunde. Mti huu unaweza kujaza eneo kwa maeneo mengine. Mango (Magnifera indica) Ikolojia: Hauwezani na mafuriko na unahitaji mchanga unaolowa vizuri. Unafanya vizuri kwa maeneo makavu. Mbegu: Hazihitaji utabibu kabla ya kuoteshwa, ata kama kuzitoboa kunaweza kusaidia katika kuota. Mbegu hizi zinaweza kukaa kwa muda wa mwezi mmoja katikajoto la kawaida, mbegu moja kwa moja kutoka kwa matunda huwa nzuri zaidi kupanda. Matawi pia yanaweza kutumika kuotesha. Matumizi: Kuni, matunda, lishe ya wanyama, lishe ya nyuki, kupunguza upepo, kufunikia ardhi, kivuli, kuhifadhi mchanga, gundi. a.
Prunus africana (Kikyuyu: Muiri, Kimeru: Mweria) Mti huu wa kiasili hupatikana sana misituni. Mbegu hupatikana msituni, wakati wa msimu kavu. Kusanya matunda ya kahawia yaliyomuafaka kutoka kwa taji la mti au chini. Toa maji kwa kulowa majini masaa ishirini na nne, halafu osha juu ya waya wenye matundu. Eneza kwa safu lembamba mahali penye hewa na kivuli ili yakauke- lakini kwa muda wa masaa manne pekee. Mbegu haikai sana kwa hivyo tumia ukishamaliza. Funika mbegu na majani yenye unyevu ili kupunguza maji yanayopotea wakati wa kuhamisha na kuhifadhi. Otesha kitaluni au mfukoni moja kwa moja. Mbegu huota baada ya wiki sita hadi nane. Matumizi: Unaweza kufukuza wadudu kama chawa, viwavi(wanaoshambulia mimea) kwa kutumia mnuko wake. Maua yake yana nta ya kuvutia na poleni ambavyo ni chakula cha nyuki. Huwa na kuni bora. Dawa: dondoo la majimaji kutokana na gome hutumika kutibu Kansa ya kibofu. Majani hutumiwa kuvutwa na mwenye homa ama mlevi kuboresha hamu ya kula. Maji huongezwa kwa gome lililobondwa na majimaji haya mekundu yanatumika kama tiba la maumivu ya tumbo. Maji maji kutokana na gome yanaweza kutumiwa kwa mifugo. Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo: miti inaweza kupandwa kwa mitaro na matuta kuleta kivuli na kupunguza upepo. Kuboresha mchanga: majani yanweza kutumiwa kufunika ardhi na kama mbolea ya kijani. Kurembesha; Huwa mti wa kivuli kinachovutia bustanini. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) Mti huu hupatikana sana misitu ya mvua iliyo tambarare na iliyo kilimani na mazingira ya misitu. Unaweza kuotesha mbegu iliyotibiwa au iliyoloweshwa. Mbegu zinazotoka kwa matunda moja kwa moja hazihitaji kutibiwa. Mbegu zilizowekwa kwa muda huloweshwa kwa maji moto na kuachwa kuwa baridi. Gome la mbegu laweza kuvunjwa kidogo ili kuharakisha kuota. Huota vizuri kwani siku ya kumi mbegu huwa imeota asilimia sabini hadi themanini. Mbegu zapaswa kukusanywa kutoka kwa mti ili kupunguza mashambulizi ya wadudu. Mbegu yaweza kuwekwa kwa mwaka mmoja u zaidi ukiihifadhi pakavu na pasipo na wadudu kwa kuongeza majivu. Matumizi: ya mbegu hutumika palipo na maumivu ya tumbo na gome hutumika kwa ugonjwa wa malaria, Kudhibiti mmomonyoko wa udongo ( mizizi hushikilia mchanga na kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo katika korongo), kivuli, kuboresha mchanga, hujulikana kama mti wenye matawi ya kufunika ardhi kwani matawi mengi huwa msimu wa kuangusha majani. Kurembesha (hupandwa mijini kwa sababu za kuvutia watu, kuonyesha mipaka, majani huharakisha kuiva kwa ndizi. c. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) Mti huu hupatikana maeneo mengi, sana sana karibu na maji, mito na ata maporini. Ni sugu kwa baridi na kwa ukavu. Miti mizuri katika TIST: Miti ya kiasili. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Mbegu kutoka kwa matunda hutumika kuotesha. Mbegu nzee yaweza kuloweshwa kwa maji baridi kwa masaa arobaini na nane. Mbegu sanasana hutibiwa kwa kuvunja na kifaa au kwa kuachilia jiwe juu ya mbegu. Hii ni kwa sababu kutoa ngozi ya ndani ya mbegu husaidia kuota haraka. Mbegu huwekwa mahali pakavu na penye joto la kawaida kwa miaka michache.
Matumizi: Chakula: Bidhaa kuu ya mzeituni ni mafuta na matunda yanayoliwa. Lishe: mimea hii huliwa na mifugo. Hutmika pia kama kuni, mbao, makaa, miswaki ya meno na kurembesha. Kuimarisha: kuwa sugu kwa ukavu inapendekeza kuwa mti huu waweza kutumika kuimarisha maeneo Africa yenye ukame. Kurembesha: mzeituni huweza kurembesha ardhi/mazingira. d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) Mti huu sana sana hupatikana misitu iliyo kwa tambarare na iliyo milimani. Hukua sana mahali penye unyevu, mara nyingine ndani ya maji na hupatikana kando ya mito Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa, kwani huota haraka na vizuri. Huota kwa asilimia themanini kufika tisini kwa siku za kwanza ishirini hadi hamsini. Kuotesha mifukoni hupendekezwa. Matunda huharibika kwa yanafaa kuokotwa mara moja yakishaanguka. Yanaweza pia kwa kutikisa matawi. Ukishakusanya, matunda yanafaa kuoteshwa mara moja kwani yanaweza kupoteza uwezo wake wa kuota yakikauka; kama ili haliwezekani, matunda yanaweza kuwekwa kwa siku chache kwa machujo ya mbao na ndani ya mikebe kwa chumba chenye kuingiza hewa tosha. Matumizi:Chakula (Matunda), lishe ya nyuki, mbao, kuni/ makaa, kivuli, dawa(tunda utumika kutibu ugonjwa wa kuhara damu, maji ya gome nayo hutumika kuzuia ugonjwa wa kuhara). Kumbuka gome ili lenye sumu limeripotiwa kuua watu, kwa hivyo tafuta ujumbe tosha kwa watu wenye uzoefu wa kutumia bidhaa za huu mti. TIST inaendlea kupanua mradi wake wa jiko.

It was incredible to see so much more yield on from the smaller piece of land! This cannot be compared with conventional farming. Over 400 TIST members who have reported on their CF practice have reported good harvest. We would like to remind our brothers and sister sTIST members that we are facing a shortage of land. The little land we have is under great pressure, as we need harvest year after year and have little space for fallow. We help ourselves and protect our future when we conserve and protect these precious resources by using best practices, including zero tilling, mulching and fallowing the land where possible. By protecting the soil by not tilling the land, rotating the crops we plant, and practicing agro forestry, we can have better harvests to celebrate, for ourselves and for our children.
