“He who feeds you, controls you”

we all should know that in order to be self reliant we have to feed ourselves. methods are there to practice small scale farming even in our city homes.let us all plant food for our selves and desist from dependability.

Below are some of our heroes:Ms Harriet Nakabale

Surprisingly, her crops are grown from sacks, jerrycans, soda bottles, old gum boots, crates, and pots. She lives on a 32 by 50 ft plot. With a house, she remains with less than a 20 by 20 ft piece from which she plants crops.
Ms Nakabale, is living a good life, thanks to her smart idea of farming on a very small piece of land.
While many people wake up very early in the morning to get to their workplaces, Ms Nakabale moves to her verandah and work begins.
"I have been doing this work for more than 10 years with no regrets whatsoever. I have been able to achieve a lot from working around my small compound, more than many that have acres of land. I have won different awards in recognition of my exemplary services to the community," Ms Nakabale said while taking me around her small farm.
She added: "I have got local and international friends. People come from all parts of the world to visit and learn from my experience. We feed on a balanced diet, my children go to school and one has been able to finish at Makerere University. I pay their school fees from the profits I make from this small business."

She mainly grows food spices, vegetables and fruits. Spices include Basil, Lavanda, Spearmint, all types of onions, Chives, Dill and Oregano among others. Vegetables in her compound include Sukuma wiki, Lettuce, Beetroot, Pakchoi, Chinese cabbage, Spinach, Butternut and Paslee. She also has a growing apple tree.She does not have enough land or soil to cultivate, as a result; she improvises; mixing sorted household garbage, chicken and animal residues and ash to form soil.
