Notes
Alex B met forty village members of Budumba about how to plant trees. The discussion was about how different types of trees can planted while observing some advantages and disadvantages.Some trees grow tall,wide and big.Some are good for compound and with good scent. Mvule is a tree that is hard wood and good for timber. part of the community land is sand soil good for hard and soft trees. Otim one of the community members suggested that trees are good to be planted by members. He added that they can be source of income to their families . As they plan to plant trees children should be part of the activities when planting them. David said that as they plant trees, they should consider crops that are to be planted under them .There is need for sunshine for them to grow healthy. Alex B thanked them for their contributions towards planting trees. He noted that since they have a desire to plant trees,it will be good for them everybody to think of how big is her or his land.He told them to plant them basing on issues like earning money out of them by selling the timber or firewood. There trees like mvule that is given by kibo group which grow tall,big and spread the branches. He said such trees need to be provided with enough space. Musizi is also good because it grows big,tall but don’t spread branches.He urged those with small piece of land not to plan for many of them to the point of being closer to their buildings. He told them to plant trees that will not affect other crops since some have small land.He advised them to plant at least every member to plant trees that can grow tall as wind breakers.Trees especially fruit trees do not grow very tall therefore advised to plant them close to their houses for shelter as well as provide fruits for the family. Such trees when planted nearby their homes,security will a sured since during day time people are at home under those shades. Alex B with community will move around advise those with small land the best type trees they can plant together with Mvule trees.Since Some part of the community is sandy they need to plant trees that can help to preserve the texture of the soil.The size and space of the hole for planting mvule tree will discussed of together.
