Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 W hen Farmers received The July 2018 Mazingira Bora Newsletter, and read this article, many offered more and better ways of making alternative polytubes. Some other requested that we do this article again.As your servants, we are happy to do this article with additional innovative methods. It’s close to one year since the Government of Kenya banned the use of plastic bags.This ban affected the plastic polytubes used in tree nurseries to raise seedlings.While TIST supports this effort by the Government to rid off these harmful and hazardous plastic materials from the environment, we are concerned about the impact of this ban, specifically in the establishment of tree nurseries and generally in overall tree planting efforts. This year, TIST farmers in Kenya have agreed on the goal of planting two (2) million new trees. By July when this article was featured,TIST Kenya had quantified 9,507,893 live trees. Today, we have 9,722,043. We want to reach 11 million trees by the end of March 2019. Some of our farmers have devised creative ways to make alternative polytubes. Some methods are working well, while others need improvements. Some materials being used in making polytubes include: ü Used plastic bottles that are pierced on the sides. One bottle is cut into two halves and both used as polytube after piercing on the sides. ü Used grain and cement bags.They are sewed and made into sizeable polytubes. ü Use of banana leaves/backs. Farmers neatly make them into polytubes. ü Bundles of used newspapers.Again,

 they are neatly made but care must be taken when watering seedling so as not to wet them. Additional innovations from feedback we received from TIST Farmers - Milk packets - Wash basin - Old linen/garments - Timber crates - Disposable coffee cup / water cups Please share this with your Small Group members, as well as your Cluster. Let us hear from you and your Clusters about what methods you are using as alternative to plastic polytubes. Please share it out in your meeting and share with the Cluster Servants. What are you using in your tree nurseries in alternative to plastic polytubes? ENGLISH VERSION 3 I n September this year, TIST Leadership Council had series of regional meetings with Group of Clusters Councils leaders. Some GOCC leaders requested that we do a reminder article on Small Group Eligibility Requirements. During your Cluster meeting, please review these requirements and help one another to understand them.They are important in our TIST activities and in achieving high results. Your Small Group should meet the following requirements to qualify for the TIST Program: 

1. There should be 6 to 12 members in your Small Group from at least three different households. 2. Each Small Group must be willing to follow the TIST Personal and Program Values. 3. Members of each Small Group should meet together weekly using TIST Small Group Best Practices to share ideas and organize their work. Small Group members should participate in TIST training to help develop and share best practices with other TIST groups. 4. All Small Group members are required to sign the Greenhouse Gas contract. 5. Small Group members should provide proof of land ownership or control of land where they will plant, or have planted,TIST trees. 6. Each Small Group should have a minimum of 1,000 live trees within 18 months after joining the TIST program and a minimum of 5,000 live trees within five years. 7. TIST Small Groups are supposed to organize to form Clusters.A Cluster is formed by Small Groups that are all within walking distance of each other. A Cluster should demonstrate sufficient land within two years of joining TIST to plant 250,000 trees (approximately 160 hectares). 8. TIST will pay farmers US $0.02 per live tree per year throughout the contract. In addition, when GhG revenue exceeds TIST KE Program costs, Clean Air Action will pay the farmer 70% of net proceeds from greenhouse gas / carbon credit sales. 9. For the TIST Small Groups to qualify for a carbon business, they must meet the requirements governing operations of regulating bodies (Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) or Verified Carbon Standards (VCS). Some of the rules require Small Groups to keep the trees alive for 30 years or longer. 10. Your Small Group should replant trees that die, for any reason, each year for at least five years. 11. Tree species that are treated as bushes or hedges (less than two meters tall) cannot be counted as TIST trees. 12. Trees planted at a spacing of less than two meters will count skipped at a distance of two meters and in between trees can be thinned for firewood or fodder. 13. TIST will allow limited harvesting of live trees that are 10 years or older, according to a preapproved plan. However, total trees harvested in any year cannot exceed 5% of the group’s total live trees. 14. No trees that damage the environment will be counted as TIST trees. Reminder: Small Group Eligibility Requirements. ENGLISH VERSION 4 B iodiversity - the richness and variety of nature - is essential to a healthy environment. Variety is especially important for responding to change and challenges, like drought, pests, or climate change. Since biodiversity is so important, you might think that people everywhere are working to make sure we protect and preserve this natural richness. However, each day, because of our human actions, we are losing species and genetic diversity as forests are cut, wetlands are drained, and resources are overexploited. We see this loss every day. Think of how many kinds of plants, birds, and animals that you saw often when you or your parents were young but that are rare or gone today? There are nine million different species of organisms on our planet, TIST: Trees make the environment better for us all. I n TIST, 

we plant trees to take part in the carbon market and earn income from carbon-offset sales. However, the other benefits of trees are enormous! Here are just a few benefits we (and the rest of the world) enjoy: ¾ Trees serve as natural habitat to support a wide variety of flora and fauna.They provide a sense of privacy and security to wildlife seeking shelter in the woods and provide them with food. Protecting biodiversity makes our farms and our planet more productive and resilient to climate change and other challenges. ¾ Trees improve the quality of air and reduce dangerous pollution. Trees remove excess carbon dioxide and air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen oxide. In return, they give us oxygen required for life. ¾ The visual quality of a landscape is improved by planting trees, which, in turn, improves the quality of life. The greenery of trees adds color to the landscape and enhances the picturesque beauty of the environment. ¾ Trees control the climate by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. They can help prevent severe floods, landslides, and wind damage. Trees moderate flood hazards by allowing the rainwater to percolate into the soil instead of running over it. ¾ Trees reduce soil erosion.Their roots bind soil that would otherwise wash away in rainstorms and floods. Trees also help improve the fertility of soil. Rich soil transfers nutrients to food, which contributes to human health. ¾ Trees are great absorbers of noise. Noise pollution can be reduced to a great extent by planting more and more trees. ¾ The demand for clean drinking water can be met by planting indigenous trees. Forests and plant cover naturally slows the runoff of rainwater and filters it into the soil. Once slowed, rainwater seeps down to refill underground aquifers we depend on for our use. Trees also shade rivers, keeping water cool, and slowing its loss through evaporation. Strength in diversity: TIST protects biodiversity. ENGLISH VERSION 5 and when we destroy them, 

it is a permanent loss for each of the seven billion people who share this planet, for our children, and for their children. TIST farmers are making a difference, working to preserve this rich diversity. Each tree we plant is an important renewable resource. Each tree we plant reduces pressure on natural, diverse forest since we can use it instead of cutting forests for fuel wood, timber, and other products.When we plant indigenous trees, as many groups have in riparian buffer groves and thousands of TIST farmers have on their farms, we directly protect biodiversity. These diverse indigenous trees also provide habitat and food for insects, birds, and animals, many of which are important for pollinating our crops, eating pests, or keeping our soil healthy. TIST farmers are also sharing their knowledge about biodiversity. Farmers are being interviewed in clusters in a pilot project to share information about biodiversity in their areas.When we learn more about the plants and animals around us, the changes in these areas, and the threats to this diversity, we can take action to preserve this amazing resource. Let’s all come together, and share our knowledge, and plant indigenous trees to make a better world for all. M ost TIST Small Groups know TIST values. Still, it is important to reflect on these Values and to be sure that we all are truly living by them.The success of TIST is based on the integrity and effort of individual members within TIST. What we can achieve depends on each of us following these Values as we plant and care for our trees, take part in training and other activities, and report our results.Who is TIST? We are! Who We Are 1) We are honest. 2) We are accurate. 3) We are transparent. 4) We are servants to each other. 5) We are mutually accountable to each other. 6) We are Role Models. 7) We are Volunteers. How We Do Things that other people can see 1) We do the work ourselves in Small Groups. 2) We develop and use best practices. 3) We use our head and hands. What do we do 

1) We plant variety of trees for long–term. 2) We find ways to improve our health. 3) We practice Conservation Farming. 4) We do other projects and businesses (sustainable agriculture, nurseries, citrus growing, dairy goats and farming, chickens, bee keeping, fish ponds and fish keeping, silkworm farming, etc.). 5) We sell carbon credits. What we create When follow these Values as we live and do business, we create something good that was not there before. 1) We create Team Work—by doing things this way, we end up working like a team. 2) We create Capacity—we create organization, strength, and a system that is strong. 3) We create Enjoyment—we see results, we accomplish big things that we enjoy. 4) We create Big Results—Big results in planting trees. Big results in Conservation farming and from other projects and business that we do. 5) We create Low Budget/ cost, yet we achieve big results. TIST Values: The strength and foundation of TIST. ENGLISH VERSION 6 T IST is encouraging farmers to try raised pot beds. Many farmers have found that this improves results. Try raised pot beds and report to your cluster what you observe, and whether this practice works better for you. Figure 1 represents the common way of arranging pots, as described above. Fig 1: Seedlings of Moringa oleifera arranged as a stack on the ground. This traditional system of arranging pots on the ground can produce seedlings with weak roots.This is because the roots coil up inside the plastic pot. At transplanting, the roots can be weak and therefore not easily establish in the ground. To avoid this, it is recommended to establish seedlings in open bottom tubes and place them on raised beds 

(Fig 2).A raised bed can easily be made from a wooden frame and wire mesh (see photo). Raised beds allow automatic root pruning because when the roots reach the container bottom, they naturally drop off (called air root pruning).This means that roots do not get injured through normal root pruning methods.The roots then tend to strengthen without growing further. This produces a healthy root system and the seedling has a better chance to establish fast and well in the field. It also eliminates the need for the labour of root pruning, a practice that is often forgotten or done too late, causing serious damage to the roots. Weed control is also easier in raised beds. Fig 2: Seedlings of various species arranged on a raised bed. The raised beds might appear to raise the amount of water used in nurseries. However, nursery operators have devised innovations to deal with water constraint. Some of the innovation involves digging a trench, placing planks of wood or wire mesh across it and placing the seedlings on the planks or wire mesh.The seedlings thus appear to be on the ground level but the trench under them provides the space, which aids air root pruning.The water is trapped in the trench and will keep seedlings moist through evaporation and so reduce the need for very frequent watering.A polythene sheet can also be placed in the trench to ensure water does not seep into the ground. Questions to ask during Cluster Trainings a. What materials have Small Groups successfully used for the pot bags? Share your best practices. b. How can Small Groups organize themselves to prepare their pot beds? How many people are needed to prepare the pots? When? How many people need to prepare the soil mixture? Where? c. Have any groups already tried raised pot beds? d. Do people have any other advice? Share any information at the next trainers’ meeting. New best practice: Raised pot beds. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Inside: KISWAHILI VERSION 2 W akati wakulima walipata jarida la Mazingira Bora mwezi Julai 2018, na kusoma hii nakala, wengi wao walishangia zaidi njia ya kufanya polytubes mbadala. Baadhi waliomba kwamba tunaweza kufanya nakala hii tena. Kama watumishi wako, tunafurahi kufanya nakala hii na mbinu ya ubunifu ya ziada. Ni karibu mwaka mmoja tangu serikali ya Kenya ilipiga marufuku matumizi ya mifuko ya plastiki. Marufuku hii walioathirika polytubes plastiki kutumika katika mti vitalu kuongeza miche. Wakati TIST inaunga mkono juhudi hii ya serikali kuwaondoa mbali madhara na hatari plastiki vifaa hivi kutoka mazingira, tuna wasiwasi juu ya athari za marufuku hii, hasa katika uanzishaji wa vitalu ya mti na kwa ujumla jumla upandaji juhudi. Mwaka huu, wakulima wa TIST nchini wamekubaliana juu ya lengo la kupanda miti mipya milioni mbili (2). Na Julai wakati nakala hii alikuwa inatolewa, TIST Kenya ilikuwa quantified miti 9,507,893. Leo, tuna 9,722,043. Tunataka kufikia miti milioni 11 ifikapo mwishoni mwa mwezi wa Machi 2019 . Baadhi ya wakulima wetu wameshauriwa njia za ubunifu ili kufanya polytubes mbadala. Baadhi ya mbinu unafanya kazi vizuri, wakati wengine wanahitaji maboresho. Baadhi vifaa kutumika katika kufanya polytubes ni pamoja na: ü Kutumika chupa za plastiki ambazo ni mkuki pande. Chupa moja ni kukatwa katika nusu mbili na zote kutumika kama polytube baada ya kutoboa pande. ü Kutumika nafaka na saruji mifuko. Kuishona na kufanywa kuwa sizeable polytubes. ü Matumizi ya ndizi majani/migongo. Wakulima vizuri kufanya nao katika polytubes. ü Bahasha ya magazeti kutumika. Tena, ni walifanya vizuri lakini huduma ya lazima zichukuliwe wakati kumwagilia miche ili mvua yao. Ubunifu wa ziada kutoka maoni tumepokea kutoka kwa wakulima wa TIST - Maziwa ya paketi - Bonde la Safisha - Umri wa kitani/mavazi - Mbao crates - Kikombe cha kahawa disposable / maji vikombe Tafadhali Shiriki hii na wanachama wako kikundi kidogo, pamoja na Cluster yako. Hebu kusikia kutoka kwako na makundi yako kuhusu mbinu gani unatumia kama mbadala kwa polytubes ya plastiki. Tafadhali kuishiriki katika mkutano wako na kushiriki pamoja na watumishi wa Cluster. Unatumia nini katika vitalu vyako katika mbadala na polytubes plastiki? KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Mwezi Septemba mwaka huu, Baraza la uongozi wa TIST lilikuwa na mfululizo wa mikutano ya kikanda na viongozi wa kikundi ya mabaraza ya makundi. Baadhi ya viongozi wa GOCC waliomba kwamba tushapishe tena nakala ya ukumbusho katika mahitaji ya ustahifu wa kundi ndogo. Wakati wa mkutano wako wa Cluster, Tafadhali pitia mahitaji haya na kusaidiana mmoja kwa mwingine kuelewa kwao. 

Ni muhimu katika shughuli zetu TIST na katika kufikia matokeo ya juu. Kikundi chako ndogo wakutane mahitaji yafuatayo kustahili kwa ajili ya mpango huu wa TIST: 1. Lazima kuwe na wajumbe 6 hadi 12 katika kikundi chako ndogo kutoka kaya wapatao watatu tofauti. 2. Kila kikundi kidogo lazima tuwe tayari kufuata TIST Values 3. Washiriki wa kila kikundi kidogo kinapaswa kukutana pamoja kila wiki kutumia TIST ndogo kikundi bora mazoea ya kubadilishana mawazo na kupanga kazi zao. Wanavikundi wanapaswa kushiriki katika TIST mafunzo ili kusaidia kukuza na mshirikishane njia bora na vikundi vingine vya TIST. 4. Wote wanavikundi wanatakiwa kuingia mkataba wa gesi chafu. 5. Wanakikundi wanapaswa kutoa uthibitisho wa umiliki wa ardhi au udhibiti wa shamba ambapo atapanda, au waliopanda, miti ya TIST. 6. Kila kundi ndogo wanapaswa kuwa na zaidi ya miti 1,000 ndani ya miezi 18 baada ya kujiunga na mpango huu wa TIST na zaidi ya miti 5,000 kuishi ndani ya miaka mitano. 7. Vikundi vya TIST wanatakiwa kujipanga kwa makundi ya Clusters. Cluster wanapaswa kuonyesha ardhi ya kutosha ndani ya miaka miwili ya kujiunga TIST kupanda miti 250,000 (takriban hekta 160). 8. TIST hulipa wakulima dola 0.02 ya marekani kwa mti kwa mwaka katika mkataba. Aidha, wakati mapato ya kikundi unazidi gharama, hatua safi ya hewa kulipa mkulima asilimia 70 ya mapato halisi kutoka gesi chafu / kaboni mikopo mauzo. 9 Kwa ajili ya vikundi vya TIST kustahili kwa ajili ya biashara ya kaboni, lazima kukidhi mahitaji zinazoongoza uendeshaji wa kudhibiti biashara (Clean Development mechanism (CDM) au Verified Carbon Standards (VCS). Baadhi ya sheria zinahitaji makundi madogo madogo kuweka miti hai kwa miaka 30 au zaidi. 10. Vikundi vidogo lazima wapande upywa wakati kuna miti inayokufa, kwa sababu yoyote, kila mwaka kwa angalau miaka mitano. 11. Mti aina ambayo ni kutibiwa kama vichaka au ua (chini ya mita mbili mrefu) haiwezi kuhesabiwa kama miti ya TIST. 12. Miti iliyopandwa katika nafasi ya chini ya mita mbili itahesabika imeruka katika umbali wa mita mbili na katika kati miti inaweza kung’oa kwa kuni au chakula ya mifugo. 13. TIST itaruhusu kuvuna miti kuishi ni miaka 10 au zaidi, kulingana na mpango kabla ya kupitishwa.

 Hata hivyo, miti jumla kuvunwa mwaka wowote haiwezi kuzidi 5% ya miti ya jumla ya kuishi ya wa kikundi. 14. Miti inayoharibu mazingira haitahesabiwa kama miti ya TIST. Kumbusho: Mahitaji ya ustahifu ya kikundi kidogo ya TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 K atika TIST, sisi hupanda miti ili kujiingiza katika soko la hewa na kupata mapato kutokana na kuuza hewa hii. Hata hivyo, faida zingine za miti ni kubwa! Zifuatazo ni faida chache ambazo sisi (pamoja na dunia yote) hufurahia: ¾ Miti hutumika kama makazi asili ya kusaidia aina nyingi za mimea na wanyama. Hupeana faragha na usalama kwa wanyama wa pori wanaotafuta makazi mitini na huwapa chakula. Kulinda bionuwai au viumbe hai hufanya mashamba yetu na sayari yetu kuwa yenye uzalishaji zaidi na pingamizi dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi(hali ya anga ya muda mrefu) na changamoto nyinginezo. ¾ Miti huboresha hewa na hupunguza uchafuzi wa hatari. Miti hutoa hewa ya kaboni ya ziada na vichafuzi vya hewa kama dioksidi sulsuri, ozoni na naitrojini yenye oksidi. Kurudisha, hutupa oksijeni inayohitajika kuishi. ¾ Ubora unaoonekana wa ardhi pia unaboreka kwa kupanda miti ambayo, inaboresha maisha. Rangi ya kijani ya miti huongeza rangi kwa ardhi na kuongeza urembo wa kipicha wa mazingira. ¾ Miti hudhibiti tabianchi kwa njia ya kupunguza athari za jua, upepo na mvua. Yaweza kusaidia kuzuia mafuriko kali, miporomoka ya ardhi, uharibifu wa upepo. Miti hupunguza madhara ya mafuriko kwa kuruhusu maji ya mvua kuingia udongoni badala ya kupita juu yake. ¾ Miti hupunguza mmomonyoko wa udongo. Mizizi yake hushika udongo ambao badalayake hungebebwa wakati wa dhoruba za mvua na mafuriko. Miti pia husaidia kuboresha rotuba ya udongo. Udongo wenye rotuba huhamisha virutubisho hadi kwa chakula, jambo ambalo huchangia kwa afya ya binadamu. ¾ Miti ni mizuri katika kunyonya sauti. Uchafuzi wa kelele waweza kupunguzwa sana kwa kupanda miti mingine na mingine. ¾ Mahitaji ya maji safi ya kunywa yaweza kukamilishwa kwa njia ya kupanda miti ya kiasili. Misitu na mimea hupunguza kasi ya maji ya mvua na huyachuja yanapoingia udongoni. Yanapopunguzwa kasi, maji ya mvua huingia ardhini kujaza vyanzo vya maji vilivyo chini ya maji na ambavyo tunategemea ili kuishi. Miti pia huipa mito kivuli, na kuyaacha maji kukaa baridi na kwa hivyo kupunguza kasi ya kupotea kwa maji kwa njia ya uvukizi. Miti huboresha mazingira kwa ajili yetu sote. Nguvu katika Utofauti: TIST hulinda bionuwai. B ionuwai—utajiri na aina mbali mbali za maumbile—ni muhimu kwa mazingira yenye afya. Aina mbali mbali ni muhimu sana kwa kubaliana na mabadiliko na changamoto, kama ukame, wadudu na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Kwa sababu bionuwai ni muhimu sana, waweza kufikiria kuwa watu kila mahali wanafanya kazi kuhakikisha kuwa tunalinda na kuhifadhi utajiri huu wa kiasili. Hata hivyo, kila siku, kwa sababu ya matendo ya binadamu, tunapoteza spici na aina za maumbile misitu inapokatwa, ardhi pevu kukaushwa na rasilimali kutumiwa kupita kiasi. Tunaona upotevu huu kila siku. Fikiria ni aina ngapi za mimea, ndege na wanyama ambazo uliona mara nyingi wakati wewe au wazazi wako walipokuwa wachanga lakini leo ni chache au zimeisha? Kuna spici milioni tisa za viumbile tofauti katika sayari yetu, na tunapoziharibu, ni hasara ya kudumu kwa kila mmoja wa watu bilioni saba wanaogawana hii sayari, kwa watoto wetu na kwa watoto wao. Wakulima katika TIST wanaleta mabadiliko, wakifanya kazi kuhifadhi utajiri huu wa kiaina. Kila KISWAHILI VERSION 5 mti tunaopanda ni asilimali inayoweza kutumika tena na tena. Kila mti tunaopanda hupunguza shinikizo kwa misitu ya kiasili yenye aina mbalimbali kwa sababu twaweza kuitumia badala ya kukata misitu ili kupata kuni, mbao na bidhaa zingine. 

Tunapopanda miti ya kiasili, kama vikundi vingi vilivyofanya katika mashamba yaliyo kando ya mito na vijito na maelfu ya wakulima wa TIST waaliyonayo katika mashamba yao, tunalinda bionuwai moja kwa moja. Aina hizi nyingi za miti ya kiasili pia huwapa wadudu, ndege na wanyama makazi na chakula, wengi wa wale ni muhimu katika kuchavua mimea yetu, kuwala wadudu waharibifu au kuweka udongo ukiwa na afya. Wakulima katika TIST pia wanagawana maarifa kuhusu bionuwai. Wakulima wanaulizwa maswali katika cluster katika mpango wa kuanzisha wa kugawana habari kuhusu bionuwai katika maeneo yao. Tunaposoma mengine kuhusu mimea na wanyama wanaotuzunguka, mabadiliko katika maeneo haya na hatari dhidi ya wingi wa aina, twaweza kuchukua hatua kuhifadhi rasilimali hii ya kuajabisha. Tujeni sote pamoja, na tugawane maarifa tuliyonayo, na tupande miti ya kiasili ili kuwe na dunia bora kwetu sote. V ikundi vidogo vya TIST vyajua maadili ya TIST. Bado, ni muhimu kuyafikiria haya maadili na kuhakikisha kuwa tunayafuayilia kiukweli. Kufanikiwa kwa TIST kunazingatia uadilifu na juhudi ya kila mwanaTIST. Tunayoweza kufikia kutategemeana na kila mmoja wetu kufuatilia haya maadili tunapopanda na kuihudumia miti yetu, tunapojiunga na mafunzo na mambo mengine na kuripoti matokeo yetu.TIST ni nani? Ni sisi! Sisi ni 1) Sisi ni Waaminifu 2) Sisi huwa sahihi 3) Sisi ni wenye Uwazi 4) Sisi ni watumishi kwa kila mmoja wetu 5) Sisi ni wenye kuwajibika kati yetu wenyewe 6) Sisi ni mfano wa kuigwa 7) Sisi ni wenye kujitolea Tunavyofanya mambo ambayo wengine wanaona. 1) Tunafanya kazi wenyewe katika vikundi vidogo. 2) Tunaanzisha na kutumia njia bora zaidi za kufanya mambo. 3) Tunatumia vichwa na mikono yetu. Tunayofanya 1) Tunapanda miti ya aina mbali mbali kwa muda mrefu. 2) Tunapata njia za kuboresha afya yetu. 3) Tunalima na njia ya Kilimo Hai. 4) Tunafanya miradi na biashara ( kilimo endelevu, vitalu, kukuza matunda ya jamii ya machungwa, mbuzi wa maziwa na ukulima, kuku, nyuki, mabwawa ya samaki na kuweka samaki, kulima buu na kadhalika ) zingine 5) Tunauza hewa tunayosafisha. Tunayojenga Tukiyafuatilia haya maadili tunavyoishi na kufanya biashara, tunajenga kitu kizuri ambacho hakikuwa hapo mbeleni. 1) Tunapata Kujenga kazi ya pamoja —Kwa kufanya hivi, tunaishia kufanya kazi kama timu. 2) Tunapata kujenga uwezo—Tunajenga ushirika, nguvu na mfumo ulio na nguvu 3) Tunapata kujifurahia—tunaona matokeo, tunafikia mambo makubwa tunayofurahia. 4) Tunapata matokeo makubwa—Matokeo makubwa katika kupanda miti. Matokeo makubwa katika Kilimo Hai na katika miradi na biashara zingine tunazofanya 5) Tunapata kutumia gharama nafuu, hata kama tunapata matokeo makubwa Maadili ya TIST: Nguvu na msingi wa TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 T IST inawahamasisha wakulima kujaribu minanda iliyo inuliwa. Wakulima wengi wamegundua kwamba njia hii inaimarisha miche wakati wa upanzi. Jaribuni minanda iliyoinuliwa na mpeane ripoti ya matokeo kwa Cluster yenu na kama njia hii ikona manufaa Zaidi kwenu. Picha ya kwanza (1) inaonyesha njia za kawaida za kupanga nyungu kama ulivyoelezewa hapo juu. Njia hii ya kitamaduni ya kupanga vyungu hivi chini inachangia miche kuwa na mizizi ilidhoufika sana. Hii ni kwa sababu mizizi inajikunja ndani ya chungu kile ilichopandwa. Wakati wa kupandikiza, ile mizizi huwa imedhoufika ki afya na kwa hivyo huwa haianzishi vizuri wakati wa upanzi. Ama ile mizizi ina mea hadi inapita kile chungu hadi kwa udongo. Hivyo inahitaji kupogoa mizizi kabla ya kuipanda. Kuzuia haya yote,inapendekezwa kupanda mbegu zile kwa mifuko ama vyungu ambavyo havijazibwa chini na kuziweka kwa minanda iliyo inuliwa. (picha ya pili) Minanda iliyoinuliwa inaweza kutengezwa kwa urahisi ukitumia sura ya mbao na waya yenye matundu (ona picha) Minanda iliyo inuliwa inarahisisha kupogoa mizizi moja kwa moja kwa sababu mizizi ikifika chini ya mfuko iliyopandwa, inashuka yenyewe. Hii ina maana kwamba mizizi hawapati kujeruhiwa kupitia njia ya kawaida kupogoa. mizizi kisha huwa na kuimarika kwa afya ndani ya bomba bila ya kumea zaidi. Hii hutoa afya mfumo wa mizizi na miche ina nafasi nzuri ya kuanzisha haraka na vizuri mahali itakapo pandwa. Hii upunguza haja ya kazi ya kupogoa mizizi, zoezi ambalo hufanyika mara nyingi limechelewa ama linasahaulika kabisa. kusababisha uharibifu mkubwa wa mizizi tu kabla ya miche. 

Kwenda kupandwa kwa uwanja. Pia ni rahisi kuzuia kwekwe ni rahisi kwa minanda iliyo inuliwa. Minanda iliyoinuliwa inaweza kuonekana kama inatumia maji mengi zaidi ya yale yanatumika kwenye minanda ya kawaida .Lakini wanaofanya hii kazi ya minanda wamegundua njia bunifu za kupambana na vikwazo vya ukosefu wa maji. Njia moja bunifu inahusisha kuchimba mtaro na kuweka mbao na waya yenye matundu ikitanda mahali pale na kuweka miche kwa zile mbao ama ile waya yenye matundu. Miche inaonekana kama iko kwa ardhi lakini ule mtaro utaweka miche unyevu kupitia maji kupaa kwa sababu ya jua na kwa hivyo kupunguza haja ya kuweka maji mara kwa mara. Karatasi ya nailoni inaweza kuwekwa pia kwa ule mtaro kuzuia maji kuingia ardhini. Maswali ya kuuliza wakati wa mikutano mafunzo ya Cluster a) Ni vifaa gani ambavyo vikundi vidogo vidogo wametumia kwa mafanikio kutengeneza vyungu ya mifuko? Shiriki njia zilizo nzuri kabisa. b) Je, vikundi vidogo vidogo vinaweza aje kujipanga minanda yao ya vyungu?ni watu wangapi wanaohitajika kuandaa vyungu hivi? Ni watu wangapi wanaohitajika kuandaa mchanganyiko huu wa udongo? Wapi? c) Ni vikundi vingapi vimejaribu minanda ya vyungu iliyo inuliwa? d) Kuna watu wana ushauri mwingine? Shiriki maelezo katika mkutano ujao wa mafunzo TIST: Ubunifu mpya wa kutumia minanda iliyoinuliwa. Picha 2: miche ya aina mbalimbali imepangwa kwa juu ya mnanda ulioinuliwa. Picha 1: miche ya Moringa Oleifera imepangwa ardhini. Published by TIST-Kenya. Web: www.tist.org
