Approach backyard gardening with open mind

It has worked well in other countries in Africa and beyond. Why should it not work well for Botswana? It is especially successful when driven  from family or household level before one can expand and translate it into a viable business idea. The first aim is and should be to feed the family with a fresh, sustainable and affordable home grown vegetable supply.  It is a notion that has been championed by the likes of  the first lady of the USA Michell Obama, when she grew her own statehouse backyard garden, in an effort to stimulate interest in backyard gardening among her people in America.
