    I love the diversity and the production.Beautiful. I also have things all growing together in layers and mixtures, and mulching rather than digging. People think I'm mad and when they visit my garden they always step in the beds and crush the plants saying they cant see where to walk, like they're in the jungle or something. Nice also to see someone else that grows nightshade, one of my favourite all-rounders.

      Try contacting local organic gardeners, many of them would probably be able to help you out. Otherwise there's online groups and whatsapp groups that share seeds. Finally, get in touch with Seed Savers Network Kenya- they can help you out as well.
