The Chickens and Bananas

Initially, this was part of our mum’s external kitchen. She later converted it into the sleep area for the chickens. She later requested us to fence off a section of the area of her renowned bananas to accommodate the chickens. The chickens and bananas now share a compound. This augurs well for the both since

• The bananas provide shade for the chickens when it is hot

• The chicken’s excrement provides nutrients to the bananas which is washed down into the soils, and absorbed by the banana roots, when it rains. Our mums’ bananas are now almost legendary, in terms of size.
