Thanks for the tip.
Kuna 3 different jiranis who are planning to vuruta maji. The way it works is you provide the water and jirani provides his own pipes and meter up to provided distribution point.

Alafu by default everybody ame sink borehole provides free livestock water in 2 - 3 nusu drum water container. You set up the piping such that the herders fill and refill the nusu drums as they need without sumbuaring anyone.

Good work Elder…Sasa fanya hivi,unaona hio idea ya Kuprovide drinking water for mifugo,Angalia mahali huwa wanakuja kuwapea maji and build a concrete water trough mrefu that can accommodate like 30 animals at once…Then Kwa perimeter ya shamba ule upande Upepo hutoka sana,plant some trees,say wattle tree or plant castor as wind breakers…lastly,look for manure mingi sana as you’ll have to improve that Clay soil to the levels or loan soil and that can only be done using Manure and constant ploughing breaking the soil clods.
In the next season, do harrowing only or subsoiling (minimal soil disturbance).

Harrowing ni 7 acres @ 3.5k/acre lakini mwenye tractor anajua ni 5 acres = 17.5k. tractor driver anaonwa zake za macho ana ongeza vitu kama leveling.

4k fuel deductable from the 17.5k
