Скачать или смотреть Evans' Method for Sowing a Two-in-One Cowpea Crop–Seed Savers Kenya KE #6 | Global Bean Show Gardens

In this video, Evans shows how he sows cowpeas on his farm, for green leaves used as spinach and for the seeds used as a pulse. Before growing another crop, Evans usually grows cowpeas, as they fix nitrogen in the soil and improve soil fertility. He also explains the raised-bed plot structure, which keeps moisture in the soil and prevents water from running off during the rainy season. Once the compost and seeds are in the soil, it takes about 21 days for the seeds to germinate.One week after emergence, he will remove the weakest plants. After another 7 days, he will pluck the green tips of the plants, which will help to produce more branches, leading to more seeds at the end of the season.

Seed savers Network (SSN) is a national farmers organisation. SSN works at grassroots level with a mission to conserve agrobiodiversity by strengthening communities and seed systems for improved food and nutritional security. Over the years the network has grown to over 58.000 small scale farmers and established over 43 seed banks with over 100 varieties of beans.
