| dcterms.description | One way to maintain soil fertility when growing perennial crops is to apply liquid manure as a top dressing. You can mix animal dung with water and leave it to ferment, but if fresh water is scarce the following easy method from Sarah Kimaakwa of the Botswana Forum on Sustainable Agriculture (FONSAG) can be worth a try. Collect fresh leaves of herbacious plants, liking stinging nettle, comfrey, amaranths or wild sunflower. Put them in a bucket or container. Close it and the leaves will loose their sap and start to ferment. This liquid manure will be ready after a month.
