THE BEST GROVE TIST 5.G members, it’s your duty to have makeyour groves the best they can be. To have the best
grove -
1, Use proper spacing: Trees need enough room to grow well, since they need enough light and water
* tothrive. Plant trees at least 68 {2m) from one tree to another for trees that don’t spread a large canopy, like eucalyptus and more space for trees like mango
and acacias that have spreading canopies. This is
the minimum spacing, but more space may help some
trees grow betterZ. The trees should also be planted in fines (rows) to enable Quantifiersand TIST staff to carry outtheir duties effectively.3. Weeding: Farmers should clear and weed theirtree groves to allow them grow well without the competition by other unwanted trees and bushes. 4. Thinning; Farmers should remove stunted trees to allow others grow well, or harvest trees when some become too closely spaced. 5. Fire line: Farmers should create a fire line around their tree groves and remove dead, dry wood
especially doring the dry season to prevent fire
spreading in their groves, 6. Farmers should also fence their groves where
necessary to prevent animals from entering the groves
and destroying trees.Thanks to farmers who have already done the above,Please follow their example and make your grovethe best it can be From Tushabemukama Apollo
