https://blingbeek.wordpress.com/2011/09/17/twitching

If you are confused as to why I have been spending so much time twitching, the twitching I am referring to is the act of spotting a bird species. Go here. For more on twitching. Just click on the twitching album. To see the updates.

Weed-whackers are about as high tech as we get; I’m not going to be driving the combine here at Ukulima any time soon. Thanks for passing on the link Andy Cotarelo!

July 13, 2012. Local Impact of ECHO’s Research in South Africa. This past season, ECHO established a half hectare plot of moringa trees for use in future intercropping studies.
