Why every farm needs a tree nursery

As the dry season heat slaps my face while the scorching sun robs the land of any little green colour that is left,most farms are at a go slow with only ploughing and anticipation for the long rains being on most if not all farmers mind.

Water is at the center of every farmers heart.So I could not stop thinking of ways to beautify my farm with trees yes, while I wait for the rains to pour down.The earlier I start the better the chance,most farmers don’t own a tree nursery despite it being simple to set up and a natural practice if you own a farm. 

We mostly buy tree seedlings and they cost an arm and leg if your purchasing more than a dozen of them. Yet if you were to buy the seeds from a credible supplier such Kenya Forestry Service, you will not only go home with the seeds in hand, but with the knowledge of how to sow them.
