Man With A Hoe

Since Karl has been training others in Farming God’s Way, he’s been dubbed with the name Najanakumbi – “He came with a hoe”.

This last week he was asked to present a two day workshop at Eagle’s Wings Children’s Village near Lukaya – a town about 30 minutes north of Masaka.

Classroom instruction was combined with practical field training in Farming God’s Way principles.

Participants were shown how to make terran ropes (measuring lines).

       A skit was presented contrasting Farming God’s Way with conventional methods of farming.          

The workshop concluded with a field implementation.

The field was laid out and squared off.

Holes were dug for planting maize and beans.

  

Both organic and inorganic fertilizers were applied.

  

Seeds were then planted.

 

Once the holes were covered…

…the garden was watered…

 

…and God’s blanket was applied.

After the garden was complete, this man danced around rejoicing!

The man on the right approached me and said, “Uncle Karl,  you have not given us fish, but taught us how to fish. Thank you very much”.
