(A2) EDITOR’S MESSAGE. TIST SMALL GROUP MEMBERS: We have completed many years under TIST with courage to plant more trees of various species. Let us remember that the past years have been years of learning a lot about what TIST aims at. This year is a year of great implementation as we implement what we learnt; let us also learn from other small groups in our localities and beyond. We aim high to greater heights. As we plant more and more trees let our focus be on. Proper spacing above 2metres or 6feet from one tree to another-Minimum Thinning and pruning. Biodiversity. Backwards never forward ever. Ara Baanyanga 

(B1)GOOD FARMING SYSTEMS BRING HIGH YIELD TO ME Trained on conservation farming has brought to me more profit and I have been using the small piece of land where I am practicing the systems. I have used small piece of land to plant vegetatbles for market gardening and also create both for home consumption and selling the surplus. This system of conservation farming I am using was introduced to me by Rev.Enock Digging up pit holes then the top soil which is crop ideal is put in first then add on manure and other top soil mixed with little manure this time I accepted him that when you put 9 maize seeds in the hole you get a basin full up of maize harvested seeds from one pit hole. Now I am calling upon my community we dig up the pit holes in plenty following the guidelines of Rev.Enock so that the harvest to increase as we eat and sell. This will keep the land to be productive for vegetables one harvest and the profits are more. I am Annet Mbabazi Kufid Group. 

(B2)OKUHINGA GYE KINDETEIRE AMAGOBA Okwegyesibwa okuhinga norinda orweezo kindeteire amagoba maingi kandi ndikukozesa omwanya mukye ogunkuhingamu.

Aha bwe mboga omuntu, nasharura kandi atunga amagoba maingi munonga. Ndi Annet Mbabazi Kufid group. 

(C1)ADVANTAGGES OF WEEDING Weeding is the removal of un wanted plants growing in an area by uprooting, there by leaving the desirable species enjoying better growth in a clean environment. Below are some of the advantages of weeding our trees groves-

 • When the grove is weeded, the trees do not experience competition for nutrients with undesirable bushes there by enjoying faster and better growth. 

• Trees in a grove that is weeded more regularly are not so exposed to as many pests and diseases as those in areas which are not taken care of.

 • More so, weeds such as grass tend to attract domestic animals such as goats, sheep and cows which will trample upon and graze on valuable tree species while still in their early stages of growth while trees in weeded and clean groves don’t experience such. 

• In addition to that, in cases of fire out breaks it is relatively easier to extinguish fires in weeded groves than bushy ones. All in all the advice is that we weed our trees groves to avoid pests & diseases, domestic &wild animals attacking the groves, defend groves against fires so that we can have healthy and better growths for better returns.
