12 Monitoring Malingua Pamba Vivero Status

---

Quick monitoring blog for Malinguapamba vivero (plant nursury), also on my technical to-do list. Vivero was set up some time ago and used to cultivate several thousand plants used during the October EWB erosion control mingas, also the locally-initiated December planting minga for Camino de Pucara (2 km at greater than one plant per meter, more in blog later). Vivero was a bit rough when i arrived but a minga cleaned things up while i was there.

Did not have time to count but estimate 5,000 + bags full of soil and in place ready for planting, also ~125 plants ready to go. Reasonable diversity, not much Scottish broom, good sense we can grow LOTS of plants for future efforts. Also noticed additional ground downhill from vivero and including sprinklers, not vivero?

Note the Malinguans are now routinely planting vivero stock in all sorts of places, now regular "best practice."
