tires
Been working with women's groups teaching them how to cut and prepare tires to plant in. The idea with the tire is to have a place close to one's house, that saves water, can be prepared with a good mix of soil, and is cheap and durable. Tires fit this bill. The machete must be sharp to cut. And, must be several times while cutting. I was joking with the ladies that after the machete is sharpened, that it's like cutting margarine. People don't really have butter, would be lost in translation.

you should show them how to build "tire things" out of tires...you know, like the one dad built us out of tractor tires.
