Notes
Erik Petersen of ASAL Consultants in Kibwezi, Kenya, has been prompted to exchange experience with Professor Gupta of the Centre for Alternative Agricultural Media in India, whose use of termite soil as a cleansing agent was described in Spore 94. He reports that 'we have used termite soil to replace 80% of the cement for building water tanks in Kenya and Zambia. This has given us a great cost reduction'.
