Haiti

Haiti research Topic: GARDENING One of the most common strategies involves growing vegetables in recycled containers, particularly old tires because they are easy to find, inexpensive, and durable. As a result, graduates of these sessions have started cultivating amaranth, Swiss chard, tomatoes, eggplant, beets, carrots, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, peas, leeks, peppers, and other produce. To make the best use of local resources, two community groups are trying to organize composting at the neighbourhood level. Indeed, some participants are already making their own compost. The project has also helped participants deal with scarce water supplies by sprinkling their gardens with recycled household wastewater. Other resources being put to use include cow and horse manure, and bagasse (sugar cane residue).
