Inter-cropping is commonly practiced, and vegetation stories are sometimes used with taller trees and plants acting as a protective canopy for lower crops. Farmers often maximize the use of land by cultivating crops which produce in the ground, on the ground, and above the ground. A popular combination includes cassava, which provides abundant shade, sweet potatoes, which provides good ground cover, and occasionally beans, which provide the soil with nitrogen. The popular gardens have not been problem-free. These clubs pool resources and experience, and share information.
Clubs meet regularly to exchange seeds, produce, tools, and ideas.
