RESOURSE GUARDIANSHIP

I started with my new course Resource guardianship, this is the course I wanted to do from the start and the reason I came to Sondela. Resource guardianship is to manage a farm and to see to it that your animals are well and safe its game ranging. You've got a lot of responsibilities the fence, the roads, the dams and a lot more this is what I love and what I want to do one day...

WEEK 1   10/05/2011

Our first week we started and I was very exited. We started right away with no time to loose, they showed us how to spray E.M and how to use the machinery. When you spray you have to spray everywhere on a wall the full wall not just a peach of the wall. E.M helps keeping away flies and pests it also keeps away bad smells...

After that we went to the main gate's dam to have a look at the bullrush that is taking over the dam, bullrush is a type of grass(biesies). So they said we will come back tomorrow with roundup its a poison that we spray over it so that it can die. We also went to the Marula dam its just a small dam for animals to drink and in that dam the Kikuyu grass is taking over, we just got into the dam and started to roll it out its very very heavy because its a lot of mud and wet.
So that was week one...
