That's an idea we have but difficulties in finding caretakers. Tried local vijana with an easier project but they are only interested in thiefing and 'kayfao' (kumi-kumi) That's why we are adopting the passive investment strategy until one or more of us are free.

Anyone??? doing research on this too. I read somewhere in the net that some guy is growing seedlings in Kajiado. Looking forward to visiting him. The uses for Bamboo are many and varied but info is scarce in Kenya.

The uses for Bamboo are many and varied but info is scarce in Kenya. Also researching on this. Called the Kajiado guy (Kitili Farm) but had issues in communication so intend to go to the farm and check it out. Some info: Organic Farmer Magazine - Bamboo in Kenya Kefri on Bamboo Hortinews on Bamboo PDF Bamboo resources He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son.
