Planting Fodder Shrubs Nurseries should be established 2-3 months before the long rains (December & January) and the short rains (August & September). Make a nursery of 1m (3 ft) wide by any appropriate length for calliandra, trichandra and, tree lucerne. Ensure the nursery bed is free of weeds and use well- decomposed manure. Add some fresh ash to keep off the pests. Water your seedlings every day in the late evening. Keep livestock away from the nursery to avoid destruction of the seedlings.
