Bucket cultivation

Bucket cultivation is a low-tech technology that allows for full control of soil circumstances. Besides preventing leakage of nutrients and water, bucket cultivation prevents soil erosion in extreme events. Especially for farmers who’s soil quality is a main limiting factor for crop growth, bucket cultivation might be an appropriate solution. In a previous project in Kenya, cabbage was planted to grow in buckets. Sprouting occurred multiple times, compared to the one time sprouting under conventional tillage.
