In the five villages that the team visited, a common pattern of problems was evident. Each village had specific limitations but in general the following recommendations apply to all the locations visited.

a. Because the soil pH was generally acidic, especially on the hillsides, it may be useful to save the ashes from home cooking fires and spread them lightly but evenly over the fields, especially those farthest from the houses and with the steepest slopes. It is important to avoid dumping all the ashes in one place where the soil will then become too alkaline while the rest of the field remains too acidic. Cooking fire ash that has been protected from rain also usually contains significant amounts of the plant nutrients phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, magnesium and calcium, but little nitrogen.
b. Maize cobs should be dumped into the corrals where the animals are kept to soak up urine and compost with manure. After the materials have decomposed, they can be beneficially applied to the crop fields. Moving the corrals from time to time as was practiced to some degree in one of the villages is a useful practice and helps spread the manure.
