Namana Serasera and Mirasoa Association, February 9th 2008
Tree Planting event. the planting site today is near one of the most important spring for mineral water in Madagascar
If planted correctly, leaves will begin to appear after 5 years
and can be used for medicinal purposes.
over the past 4 years, we expect to have around 4000 trees.
As of today, 2000 roots have been planted
but only 9 of those can be credited to you guys (so you'd better get moving...)
(laughters)...don't despair !
if some of those trees are taking too long to grow, we'll switch to gravileae.
Is it Ok for girls to partner with boyz ? (laughs) anything that suits you guys
you take the root and you make a spherical shape of the soil surrounding the root
we have 20 blades here but we are 45 people here today
that's why we will work in pairs.
you make a cut on one side and then on the other side
then you put the root with the soil in the hole that was previously digged out.
however, you will need to dig a little deeper because we don't want sand to go inside the soil.
so after you dig further, I probably should show you a dry-run....here is a hole but we will not plant here
let me find a shovel
do you see that black soil on top ? That's the one you put back inside first
So you break apart the dry soil and you turn it over
then you use your shovel to level the side of the hole. This is why it's a two-people job
one person prepare the hole and the second one plants the root inside
the one who has the shovel gently presses the soil around the root to cover it....
but one has to be gentle because the root needs air to grow properly
yet not too gentle either because the soil must not fly away.....so there you go
the roots are ready to be planted
how many tree roots do we have again ? 300?
you can get going now...yes let's get started
how about our bags ?
Thank you !
