    This is certainly a very interesting idea simple enough to be used anywhere in sub-saharan Africa. Since the rain patterns have become so erratic in the last 2 or so decades, this idea must be promoted and publicized wider. I suggest the Agriculture ministries in African countries be encouraged to include this idea as part of their extension services to the communities.
